Hi all,
I'm trying to pass the same argument to all tests in a directory. The perl docs tell me to use:
prove -v t/mytest.t :: --input http://example.com
But whenever I do that I get "Unknown option: input". Here's a simplied version of my code:

1. the test harness file 
use Test::Harness;
my $dir = "my_dir"
system("prove -v tests/at_test_level.t :: --input=$dir");

[download]

2. the test file 

use Test::More tests => 1;
use Getopt::Long;
use warnings;

my $input;
GetOptions( "input=s" => \$input );
ok( 1==1, 'test 1 ok' );

[download]

I'm new-ish to perl, so it's probably something straightforward. Your help is appreciated!
