Hi,

If you want to see those tests naturally reflected in the output, use SKIP not TODO.

Did you test before posting? Take 1nickt's code, change the TODO to SKIP, and you'll see that the output of prove doesn't mention the skipped tests at all! Under prove -v, the only difference is that the test will say "ok 1 # skip some reason" instead of "ok 1 - Inside # TODO", so no real difference there either. And as I mention here, SKIP will also not report when the test starts passing.

Sorry, but this is not a solution to 1nickt's question, "What I want to do is output an additional message when a TODO test starts passing".

That's right. His question is not valid.
