'prove' has really made a big difference for me. With 'make test', I had
the sense there were ways to fine tune the output. But how to do that
seemed different to discover, and difficult to remember. With prove,
there's 'prove -h' and 'perldoc prove', making things much easier to
learn and lookup.
Since it is 100% compatible with the test files already in use, there
is nothing to lose by trying it or using it. It's not as if it's a new
dependency that module users have to to have to install it.
