in thread Get TAP output when compiling Perl and running "make test"

Thanks for your reply. I've already tried that and as mentioned in my post it does not have any effect, not even an error message when setting it to an invalid value.

Hi,

"make test" runs the perl program I linked. Since its parsing HARNESS_OPTIONS by itself, it hints/suggests its not using TAP::Harness to do that.

My idea is that you read/trace the program, and if needed modify to suit your needs.

    Actually I had a look at the code and it seems like it does parse HARNESS_OPTIONS but only for the number of jobs - no mention of the "archive" functionality.

      Hi,

      What happens when you directly run perl/t/harness with PERL_TEST_HARNESS_DUMP_TAP set ?

      When I try  perl -I../cpan/Test-Harness/lib harness base/if.t I get a base/if.t file created inside PERL_TEST_HARNESS_DUMP_TAP
