did you read mandarin's reply to your previous post? Did you try super searching for other posts?	[reply]

You haven't shown any code, but you'll probably want to add `$Test::Harness::Verbose = 1;` [download] to your script to see all the output (see Test::Harness docs).	[reply] [d/l]

Hi , I'm not sure I understand your question/problem - would it be possible to provide output samples etc. in order to better put your question into context ? Is the problem that you'd like to both see the outputs as the tests are running as well as have the test run logged ? If so, try using the tee command (I assume you're using *NIX) ... `make test 2>&1 \| tee log` At last, a user level that best describes my experience :-))	[reply] [d/l]

`prove -vm t/.t`* Gives me: Unknown option: m. Maybe you meant `prove -vb t/*.t` ? BTW, thanks for the tip, I was used to run `make test TEST_VERBOSE=1` before, but `prove` is much shorter and lets you choose the tests to run.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It looks like the `-m` switch came about in newer versions of TAP::Harness; I'm using 3.02: `-m, --merge Merge test scripts' STDERR with their STDOUT.`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
