NAME
    Test::Comprehensive - perform tests on all modules of a distribution

SYNOPSIS
      $ cat t/01comprehensive.t
      use Test::Comprehensive;
      $ make test
      ...

DESCRIPTION
    When using this module in a test script, it goes through all the modules
    in your distribution, checks their POD, checks that they compile ok and
    checks that they all define the same $VERSION.

    It defines its own testing plan, so you usually don't use it in
    conjunction with other "Test::*" modules in the same file. It's
    recommended that you just create a one-line test script as shown in the
    SYNOPSIS above. However, there are options...

OPTIONS
    On the line in which you "use()" this module, you can specify named
    arguments that influence the testing behavior.

    "tests => NUMBER"
        Specifies that in addition to the tests run by this module, your
        test script will run additional tests. In other words, this value
        influences the test plan. For example:

          use Test::Comprehensive tests => 1;
          use Test::More;
          is($foo, $bar, 'baz');

        It is important that you don't specify a "tests" argument when using
        "Test::More" or other test modules as the plan is handled by
        "Test::Comprehensive".

    "only => STRING|LIST"
        Specifies that only certain sets of tests are to be run. Possible
        values are "pod", "use" and "versions". For example, if you only
        want to run the POD tests, you could say:

          use Test::Comprehensive only => 'pod';

        To specify that you only want to run the POD tests and the "use"
        tests, and also that you are going to run two tests of your own,
        use:

          use Test::Comprehensive
            only  => [ qw/pod use/ ],
            tests => 2;

        Note that when you specify the "versions" option, the "use" option
        is automatically added. This is because in order to get a module's
        $VERSION, it has to be loaded. In this case we might as well run a
        "use" test.

EXPOSED INTERNALS
    There are a few subroutines to help you see what this module is doing.
    Note that these subroutines are neither exported nor exportable, so you
    have to call them fully qualified.

    "Test::Comprehensive::packages()"
        This is a list of packages that have been found. That is, we assume
        that each file contains a package of the name indicated by the
        file's relative position. For example, a file in
        "blib/lib/Foo/Bar.pm" is expected to be available via "use
        Foo::Bar".

    "Test::Comprehensive::files()"
        This is a list of files that tests have been run on. The filenames
        are relative to the distribution's root directory, so they start
        with "blib/lib".

    "Test::Comprehensive::num_tests()"
        This is the number of tests that this module has run, based on your
        specifications.
