prove v1.04 question

I am using prove with following config:

prove v1.04, using Test::Harness v2.56 and Perl v5.8.8
[download]

I have just started using prove and my question is how to count the number of test cases in my test file?
The --count option is not available with my version of prove.

Are you able to install a current version of prove into your own home directory? There are options to do that. --MidLifeXis	[reply]

You could try: `$Test->no_plan;` [download] and then run prove: it will count the number of tests for you. Eventually when you have finished, I would urge you to remove the no_plan and substitute the actual number. A further possibility would be to use: `scalar $Test->summary;` [download] at the end of each test script to count the number of tests in that script, possibly writing it to a file etc if there are a lot to be summed over. again the caveat about replacing no_plan with the actual number.
