Catalyst::Test uses Plack::Test under the hood. That mangle_response stuff is mostly evil :)
Sounds like you are saying you'd like to apply Plack Middleware during testing. The latest dev release on CPAN lets you configure middleware via configuration, so you could have some middleware in your test configuration. This use case is one of the reasons I added this feature, so that we could manage middleware for catalyst inside of catalyst configuration.
If you don't like that approach, I could be talked into a patch to Catalyst::Test that would let you declare additional middleware in the test case.
I'd prefer this over messing with Catalyst::Test internals. One of the hard things about trying to move Catalyst forward is that we've expose a ton of API that we fear to change since we don't know who is overriding what in the Darkpan. Ideally I'd like to see people use Plack Middleware for jobs involving modifying the request and response, since that is something its great at, and the API is just a code ref, so its very well decoupled (could even be used outside of Catalyst).
Good luck!

Not exactly -- in this case I have a PSGI layer that is supposed to
inject some extra information into the env for consumption by the
application.
A simple example would be if you had a PSGI layer providing, say,
Basic HTTP auth, and setting the REMOTE_USER variable.
Although in my case, there's a bit more to it than that.
