Even though it's now a part of perl the development of the module continues and other modules are starting to require a later version of it than the one bundled with perl.

STOP! If all you want to do is write a test script, consider using
|
|
Test::Simple. Test::Harness is the module that reads the output from
|
|
Test::Simple, Test::More and other modules based on Test::Builder. You don't
|
|
need to know about Test::Harness to use those modules.
|
|
|
|
Test::Harness runs tests and expects output from the test in a certain format.
|
|
That format is called TAP, the Test Anything Protocol. It is defined in
|
|
Test::Harness::TAP.
|
|
|
|
Test::Harness::runtests(@tests) runs all the testscripts named as arguments
|
|
and checks standard output for the expected strings in TAP format.
|
|
|
|
The prove utility is a thin wrapper around Test::Harness.
