I'm no expert here, but since your question still doesn't have a
reply...
Have you looked into the various continuous integration solutions.
You'll need some googling, but they're designed to run tests
regularly against a repository and do things like send emails when a
test fails. They may be configurable to log as well.
Finally, I'd dig into the code for Test::Unit::TestCase to find how
it displays failures. There might be a function you can over-ride or
replace easily enough to create the log messages you're looking for.
