NAME

test.pl - Test harness with recursive directory search

SUMMARY

  make test

  perl test.pl

  perl test.pl [DIRECTORY|FILENAME|FILEGLOB]*

DESCRIPTION

Performs a recursive directory search for files ending in .t, starting from the current directory or from the paths specified on the command line, and then runs them using Test::Harness.

CAUTION

This is a test harness, not a test script.

MakeMaker checks for the presence of a test harness named test.pl and if present adds code to the test target to run it. Do NOT add this to the test scripts used by a Makefile.PL (using test = { TESTS => 'test.pl' }>). Do NOT create a directory named t/ or else MakeMaker will also attempt to run those test scripts itself.
