(Repeated with permission)
Recently when I asked on the Perl-QA list what features people would like to see in TAPx::Parser, Dave Rolsky replied that he would like to see the $ENV{HARNESS_ACTIVE} variable set. So I added that along with $ENV{HARNESS_VERSION}. After a bit of email exchange with him, he wrote the following:
I've started using it instead of prove. The two killer features for me were ordering output from STDOUT/STDERR correctly, and the color highlighting.
In another encouraging sign, not only do we have no test failures reported for the latest release and zero bug reports (all previous ones having been fixed), I see a success report for Cygwin, a very encouraging sign.
More features to come!

It would appear that the order above is the same order if one does "dir" in the t directory. Not by date. Not by last mod. Not by name. Not by size.
Who knows what the hell Windows is doing. Maybe by ntfs node id or something terribly non-useful.Re:Sort Order
djberg96 on 2007-01-19T22:19:05
Eh? The 'dir' command lists file in alphabetical order by default, as does Perl's readdir() on Windows. Yours doesn't?There are no inodes on Windows, btw.
:) Re:Sort Order

Well, not inodes, no, but ntfs pointers. I think this is a windows "feature". On permanent drives, it is indeed alphabetical. On removable drives (USB, or at least the one I have), it is NOT alphabetical.I travel with my code on my USB stick. I don't have another one to test. The other x factor is that my USB drive is encrypted using TrueCrypt. Maybe it's the issue....but then again, prove gets it right, and so does make test/build test.F:\>dir
Volume in drive F has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 44B6-4FFC

Tests are returned in the order that File::Find returns them. See the code for bin/runtests.
