Log Message:
Update to 2.40.
Added HOMEPAGE.

Changes since 2.28:

2.40	    Tue Dec 30 20:38:59 CST 2003
    [FIXES]
    * Test::Harness::Straps should now properly quote on VMS.
    [ENHANCEMENTS]
    * prove now takes a -l option to add lib/ to @INC.  Now when you're
      building a module, you don't have to do a make before you run
      the prove.  Thanks to David Wheeler for the idea.
    [INTERNALS]
    * Internal functions corestatus() and canonfailed() prepended with
      underscores, to indicate such.
    * Gratuitous text-only changes in Test::Harness::Iterator.
    * All tests now do their use_ok() in a BEGIN block.  Some of the
      use_ok() calls were too much of a hassle to put into a BEGIN block,
      so I changed them to regular use calls.

2.38	    Mon Nov 24 22:36:18 CST 2003
    Released.  See changes below.

2.37_03	    Tue Nov 18 23:51:38 CST 2003
    [ENHANCEMENTS]
    * prove -V now shows the Perl version being used.
    * Now there's a HARNESS_DEBUG flag that shows diagnostics as the
      harness runs the tests.  This is different from HARNESS_VERBOSE,
      which shows test output, but not information about the harness
      itself.
    * Added _command_line() to the Strap API.
    [FIXES]
    * Bad interaction with Module::Build:  The strap was only checking
      $ENV{HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES} for definedness, but not emptiness.
      It now also strips any leading or trailing whitesapce from the
      switches.
    * Test::Harness and prove only quote those parms that actually need
      to be quoted: Have some whitespace and aren't already quoted.

2.36        Fri Nov 14 09:24:44 CST 2003
    [FIXES]
    * t/prove-includes.t properly ignores PROVE_SWITCHES that you may
      already have set.

2.35_02     Thu Nov 13 09:57:36 CST 2003
    [ENHANCEMENTS]
    * prove's --blib now works just like the blib pragma.

2.35_01     Wed Nov 12 23:08:45 CST 2003
    [FIXES]
    * Fixed taint-handling and path preservation under MacOS.  Thanks to
      Schwern for the patch and the tests.
    * Preserves case of -t or -T in the shebang line of the test.
    [ENHANCEMENTS]
    * Added -t to prove analogous to Perl's -t.  Removed the --taint
      switch.
    * prove can take default options from the PROVE_SWITCHES variable.
    * Added HARNESS_PERL to allow you to specify the Perl interpreter
      to run the tests as.
    * prove's --perl switch sets the HARNESS_PERL on the fly for you.
    * Quotes the switches and filename in the subprogram.  This helps
      with filenames with spaces that are subject to shell mangling.

2.34        Sat Nov  8 22:09:15 CST 2003
    [FIXES]
    * Allowed prove to run on Perl versions < 5.6.0.
    [ENHANCEMENTS]
    * Command-line switches to prove may now be stacked.
    * Added check for proper Pod::Usage version.
    * "make clean" does a better job of cleaning up after itself.

2.32        Fri Nov  7 09:41:21 CST 2003
    Test::Harness now includes a powerful development tool to help
    programmers work with automated tests.  The prove utility runs
    test files against the harness, like a "make test", but with many
    advantages:
    * prove is designed as a development tool
        Perl users typically run the test harness through a makefile via
        "make test". That's fine for module distributions, but it's
        suboptimal for a test/code/debug development cycle.
    * prove is granular
        prove lets your run against only the files you want to check.
        Running "prove t/live/ t/master.t" checks every *.t in t/live, plus
        t/master.t.
    * prove has an easy verbose mode
        To get full test program output from "make test", you must set
        "HARNESS_VERBOSE" in the environment. prove has a "-v" option.
    * prove can run under taint mode
        prove's "-T" runs your tests under "perl -T".
    * prove can shuffle tests
        You can use prove's "--shuffle" option to try to excite problems
        that don't show up when tests are run in the same order every time.
    * Not everything is a module
        More and more users are using Perl's testing tools outside the
        context of a module distribution, and may not even use a makefile at
        all.
    Prove requires Pod::Usage, which is standard after Perl 5.004.

    I'm very excited about prove, and hope that developers will begin
    adopting it to their coding cycles.  I welcome your comments at
    andy@petdance.com.
    There are also some minor bug fixes in Test::Harness itself, listed
    below in the 2.31_* notes.

2.31_05     Thu Nov  6 14:56:22 CST 2003
    [FIXES]
    - If a MacPerl script had a shebang with -T, the -T wouldn't get
      passed as a switch.
    - Removed the -T on three *.t files, which didn't need them, and
      which were causing problems.
    - Conditionally installs bin/prove, depending on whether Pod::Usage
      is available, which prove needs.
    - Removed old leftover code from Makefile.PL.

2.31_04     Mon Nov  3 23:36:06 CST 2003
    Minor tweaks here and there, almost ready to release.

2.31_03     Mon Nov  3 08:50:36 CST 2003
    [FEATURES]
    - prove is almost feature-complete.  Removed the handling of
      --exclude for excluding certain tests.  It may go back in the
      future.
    - prove -d is now debug.  Dry is prove -D.

2.31_02     Fri Oct 31 23:46:03 CST 2003
    [FEATURES]
    - Added many more switches to prove: -d for dry run, and -b for
      blib.
    [FIXES]
    - T:H:Straps now recognizes MSWin32 in $^0.
    - RT#3811: Could do regex matching on garbage in _is_test().
      Fixed by Yves Orton
    - RT#3827: Strips backslashes from and normalizes @INC entries
      for Win32.  Fixed by Yves Orton.
    [INTERNALS]
    - Added $self->{_is_macos} to the T:H:Strap object.
    - t/test-harness.t sorts its test results, rather than relying on
      internal key order.

2.31_01
    [FEATURES]
    - Added "prove" script to run a test or set of tests through the
      harness.  Thanks to Curtis Poe for the foundation.
    [DOCUMENTATION]
    - Fixed POD problem in Test::Harness::Assert

2.30        Thu Aug 14 20:04:00 CDT 2003
    No functional changes in this version.  It's only to make some doc
    tweaks, and bump up the version number in T:H:Straps.
    [DOCUMENTATION]
    - Changed Schwern to Andy as the maintainer.
    - Incorporated the TODO file into Harness.pm proper.
    - Cleaned up formatting in Test::Harness::Straps.

2.29        Wed Jul 17 14:08:00 CDT 2003
    - Released as 2.29.

2.28_91     Sun Jul 13 00:10:00 CDT 2003
    [ENHANCEMENTS]
    - Added support for HARNESS_OK_SLOW.  This will make a significant
      speedup for slower connections.
    - Folded in some changes from bleadperl that spiff up the
      failure reports.
    [INTERNALS]
    - Added some isa_ok() checks to the tests.
    - All Test::Harness* modules are used by use_ok()
    - Fixed the prototype for the canonfailed() function, not that
      it matters since it's never called without parens.

2.28_90     Sat Jul 05 20:21:00 CDT 2003
    [ENHANCEMENTS]
    - Now, when you run a test harnessed, the numbers don't fly by one
      at a time, one update per second.  This significantly speeds
      up the run time for running thousands of tests.  *COUGH*
      Regexp::Common *COUGH*
