NAME

Test::Harness - run perl standard test scripts with statistics

SYNOPSIS

use Test::Harness;

runtests(@tests);

DESCRIPTION

Perl test scripts print to standard output ``ok N'' for each single test, where N is an increasing sequence of integers. The first line output by a standard test scxript is ``1..M'' with M being the number of tests that should be run within the test script. Test::Harness::runscripts(@tests) runs all the testscripts named as arguments and checks standard output for the expected ``ok N'' strings.

After all tests have been performed, runscripts() prints some performance statistics that are computed by the Benchmark module.

EXPORT

&runscripts is exported by Test::Harness per default.

DIAGNOSTICS

All tests successful.\nFiles=%d, Tests=%d, %s: If all tests are successful some statistics about the performance are printed.
Failed 1 test, $pct% okay.
Failed %d/%d tests, %.2f%% okay.: If not all tests were successful, the script dies with one of the above messages.
