Hello,

I am currently working on automating our Perl builds and I'd like to know how do I get the TAP output when I run make test so that the continuous integration system can pick up failures and display them nicely (manually going through a 5k line build log is not fun).

I've already tried setting PERL_TEST_HARNESS_DUMP_TAP as well as HARNESS_OPTIONS but those have no effect when running through make for some reason.

Steps to reproduce: 

curl https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/S/SH/SHAY/perl-5.20.3.tar.bz
+2 | tar -jxC /root
cd /root/perl*
./Configure -des -Dprefix=/opt/perl-5.20.3
make -j $(nproc)
make test

I am running Perl 5.20.3 on Debian 9.0 amd64.

Regards.
