Re^2: Outputting input prompt with prove

It's really just something that has annoyed me for a while and I'd like to see if there is a way to print the prompt.

The current project I'm working on shows sample data from a spreadsheet column and asks the user which col headers to user. It's not really a big deal.

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless ~~Friar~~ ~~Abbot~~ ~~Bishop~~ ~~Pontiff~~ ~~Deacon~~ ~~Curate~~ ~~Priest~~ Vicar";
$nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

The current project I'm working on shows sample data from a spreadsheet column and asks the user which col headers to user. Well, that wouldn't really make sense in an automated test, so I guess it's only for those people who run the tests manually in their console? In that case, you could provide some other way to pass that parameter in - just one example of many being an environment variable, and in your test script, only run that code when that environment variable is set. Another thing I like to do in my test scripts is use Test::More's `diag` and `note` appropriately, so that the output is not cluttered when running prove without `-v`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
