#NAME

App::Prove::State - State storage for the prove command.

#VERSION

Version 3.38

#DESCRIPTION

The prove command supports a --state option that instructs it to store persistent state across runs. This module implements that state and the operations that may be performed on it.

#SYNOPSIS

# Re-run failed tests
$ prove --state=failed,save -rbv

• extensions (optional)

  The test name extensions. Defaults to .t.

• result_class (optional)

  The name of the result_class. Defaults to App::Prove::State::Result.

#result_class

Getter/setter for the name of the class used for tracking test results. This class should either subclass from App::Prove::State::Result or provide an identical interface.
