in thread Profiling via prove?

Windows doesn't like it. I've tried a few flavors of that: 'perl -d:SmallProf prove -r -j4' got me 'Can't open perl script "prove": No such file or directory'

I tried the full path to the app, 'perl -d:SmallProf C:\Perl64\lib\App\prove.pm -r -j4' and get a blank newline then a return to my command line. (Well, the first time it told me to fix a deprecated 'defined(@array)' call in Devel::SmallProf, but whatevs).

Note that prove runs fine on this machine otherwise, aside from this parallel processing weirdness.

Is there a way to pass perl arguments to prove via the app's '::' argument passer gadget?

This is Perl 5.16.1 built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread, running on Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit OS.

    Eureka, thanks to ilmari_ in #perl-help.

    In the end I needed to set PERL5OPTS to '-d:SmallProf` and run prove normally. Got the same run with the same issues I'd been saying, along with a big whopping profiler output.
