-=head1 NAME
-
-Test::Harness - run perl standard test scripts with statistics
-
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Test::Harness;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-B<STOP!> If all you want to do is write a test script, consider using
-Test::Simple. Otherwise, read on.
-
-(By using the Test module, you can write test scripts without
-knowing the exact output this module expects. However, if you need to
-know the specifics, read on!)
-
-Perl test scripts print to standard output C<"ok N"> for each single
-test, where C<N> is an increasing sequence of integers. The first line
-output by a standard test script is C<"1..M"> with C<M> being the
-number of tests that should be run within the test
-script. Test::Harness::runtests(@tests) runs all the testscripts
-named as arguments and checks standard output for the expected
-C<"ok N"> strings.
-
-After all tests have been performed, runtests() prints some
-performance statistics that are computed by the Benchmark module.
-
-=head2 The test script output
-
-The following explains how Test::Harness interprets the output of your
-test program.
-
-=over 4
-
-=item B<'1..M'>
-
-This header tells how many tests there will be. For example, C<1..10>
-means you plan on running 10 tests. This is a safeguard in case your
-test dies quietly in the middle of its run.
-
-It should be the first non-comment line output by your test program.
-
-In certain instances, you may not know how many tests you will
-ultimately be running. In this case, it is permitted for the 1..M
-header to appear as the B<last> line output by your test (again, it
-can be followed by further comments).
-
-Under B<no> circumstances should 1..M appear in the middle of your
-output or more than once.
-
-
-=item B<'ok', 'not ok'. Ok?>
-
-Any output from the testscript to standard error is ignored and
-bypassed, thus will be seen by the user. Lines written to standard
-output containing C</^(not\s+)?ok\b/> are interpreted as feedback for
-runtests(). All other lines are discarded.
-
-C</^not ok/> indicates a failed test. C</^ok/> is a successful test.
-
-
-=item B<test numbers>
-
-Perl normally expects the 'ok' or 'not ok' to be followed by a test
-number. It is tolerated if the test numbers after 'ok' are
-omitted. In this case Test::Harness maintains temporarily its own
-counter until the script supplies test numbers again. So the following
-test script
-
- print <<END;
- 1..6
- not ok
- ok
- not ok
- ok
- ok
- END
-
-will generate
-
- FAILED tests 1, 3, 6
- Failed 3/6 tests, 50.00% okay
-
-=item B<test names>
-
-Anything after the test number but before the # is considered to be
-the name of the test.
-
- ok 42 this is the name of the test
+B<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.
-Currently, Test::Harness does nothing with this information.
+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 L<Test::Harness::TAP>.
-=item B<Skipping tests>
-
-If the standard output line contains the substring C< # Skip> (with
-variations in spacing and case) after C<ok> or C<ok NUMBER>, it is
-counted as a skipped test. If the whole testscript succeeds, the
-count of skipped tests is included in the generated output.
-C<Test::Harness> reports the text after C< # Skip\S*\s+> as a reason
-for skipping.
-
- ok 23 # skip Insufficient flogiston pressure.
-
-Similarly, one can include a similar explanation in a C<1..0> line
-emitted if the test script is skipped completely:
-
- 1..0 # Skipped: no leverage found
-
-=item B<Todo tests>
-
-If the standard output line contains the substring C< # TODO> after
-C<not ok> or C<not ok NUMBER>, it is counted as a todo test. The text
-afterwards is the thing that has to be done before this test will
-succeed.
-
- not ok 13 # TODO harness the power of the atom
-
-=begin _deprecated
-
-Alternatively, you can specify a list of what tests are todo as part
-of the test header.
-
- 1..23 todo 5 12 23
-
-This only works if the header appears at the beginning of the test.
-
-This style is B<deprecated>.
-
-=end _deprecated
-
-These tests represent a feature to be implemented or a bug to be fixed
-and act as something of an executable "thing to do" list. They are
-B<not> expected to succeed. Should a todo test begin succeeding,
-Test::Harness will report it as a bonus. This indicates that whatever
-you were supposed to do has been done and you should promote this to a
-normal test.
-
-=item B<Bail out!>
-
-As an emergency measure, a test script can decide that further tests
-are useless (e.g. missing dependencies) and testing should stop
-immediately. In that case the test script prints the magic words
-
- Bail out!
-
-to standard output. Any message after these words will be displayed by
-C<Test::Harness> as the reason why testing is stopped.
-
-=item B<Comments>
-
-Additional comments may be put into the testing output on their own
-lines. Comment lines should begin with a '#', Test::Harness will
-ignore them.
-
- ok 1
- # Life is good, the sun is shining, RAM is cheap.
- not ok 2
- # got 'Bush' expected 'Gore'
-
-=item B<Anything else>
-
-Any other output Test::Harness sees it will silently ignore B<BUT WE
-PLAN TO CHANGE THIS!> If you wish to place additional output in your
-test script, please use a comment.
-
-=back
+C<Test::Harness::runtests(@tests)> runs all the testscripts named
+as arguments and checks standard output for the expected strings
+in TAP format.
+The F<prove> utility is a thin wrapper around Test::Harness.
=head2 Taint mode
-Test::Harness will honor the C<-T> in the #! line on your test files. So
-if you begin a test with:
+Test::Harness will honor the C<-T> or C<-t> in the #! line on your
+test files. So if you begin a test with:
#!perl -T
the test will be run with taint mode on.

=head1 TODO
Provide a way of running tests quietly (ie. no printing) for automated
of runtests() which rather than printing its output returns raw data
on the state of the tests. (Partially done in Test::Harness::Straps)
+Document the format.
+
Fix HARNESS_COMPILE_TEST without breaking its core usage.
Figure a way to report test names in the failure summary.
Rework the test summary so long test names are not truncated as badly.
(Partially done with new skip test styles)
-Deal with VMS's "not \nok 4\n" mistake.
-
Add option for coverage analysis.
-=for _private
+Trap STDERR.

+Completely redo the print summary code.
+
+Implement Straps callbacks. (experimentally implemented)

+Fix that damned VMS nit.
+
+HARNESS_TODOFAIL to display TODO failures
+
+Add a test for verbose.

+Change internal list of test results to a hash.

Keeping whittling away at _run_all_tests()
-=for _private
Clean up how the summary is printed. Get rid of those damned formats.
