NAME

parrot-prove - Prove is a PIR-based TAP (Test Anything Protocol) Harness

SYNOPSIS

parrot-prove [option] [files]

DESCRIPTION

It eats test output (i.e. is a TAP consumer) and tells humans if the test suite passed, and if not, which kind of pretty colors of smoke came out. It is mostly equivalent to 'prove' from Perl 5.
