The problem I'm hearing over and over again is "Test::Builder is

Paged output from prove when running on a tty?
Tee STDOUT/STDERR to a temporary file from prove when running on a
tty?
Pause reporting from prove after each failure?
Note the common prepositional phrase in all three.
Something to do with prove? :)
I can see virtue in all three. I can also see an argument for
$ prove -rb 2>&1 | less
And if that's too much bother alias it to pprv.
Personally I run in a terminal with unlimited scrollback and clear the
buffer before running a big test suite so that scrolling back to the
top gets me quickly to the start of the action.
