This document discusses using the prove command-line tool to run tests and other scripts. Prove is a test runner that uses the Test Anything Protocol (TAP) to aggregate results. It can run tests and scripts written in any language by specifying the interpreter with --exec. Extensions other than .t can be run by setting --ext. Prove searches for tests in the t/ directory by default but can run any kind of scripts or tasks placed in t/, such as service monitoring scripts. The .proverc file can save common prove options for a project.
