Trying to parse the mix of TAP and prove output is never going to work right.
You're risking that none of the prove output will be valid TAP. Even if that
"ok" line is removed something else will mess it up later.
I think what you really want is a switch to output just the TAP and none of
prove's stuff. That's the --archive option.
However, it doesn't seem to DWIM.
$ prove -a test.out -l t/Builder/ok_obj.t
Archive is not a known format type! at
/usr/local/perl/5.10.0/lib/5.10.0/App/Prove.pm line 485
Seems it only supports tarballs.
$ prove --archive=test.tgz -l t/Builder/ok_obj.t
t/Builder/ok_obj....ok
All tests successful.
