[snip] I doubt that 'prove' by itself is expected to generate meaningful output. When I tried it (admittedly, on a slightly different version), I got this: $ prove No tests named and 't' directory not found at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/App/Prove.pm line 470 Could you try again by calling it with an actual test file, e.g.: prove t/unicode.t (from the TAP::Harness test suite) Thank you very much.

Well that's arguably OK - but the OPs findings are not. I suspect that Test::Harness has been incorrectly installed on the OP's system - it's hard to see how it could happen otherwise. I'm going to reject this ticket on the grounds that I'm pretty sure it's not our fault.
