    copied!<p>I have a <a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Test::More" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Test::More</a> test script for a module we have made. When running the test script by itself, it works just as expected. Since there are several tests we need to run, I made a <a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Test::Harness" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Test::Harness</a> file that run all scripts. However, when executing from the <a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Test::Harness" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Test::Harness</a> <code>runtests</code> the script returns errors.</p> <p>During debugging I tried to run the script by using backtics and that worked. So the runtest command caused the errors. </p> <p>The code of the harness is pretty straightforward:</p> <pre><code>(perl) -w use strict; use warnings; use Test::Harness; my @tests = ('test1.pl', 'test2.pl', 'test3.pl'); runtests(@tests); </code></pre> <p>The errors originate from a cpan module we use, <a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Pod::HtmlEasy" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Pod::HtmlEasy</a>. </p> <p>The solution I'm hoping for is for a way to run the <a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Test::Harness" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Test::Harness</a> without getting the errors. </p> <p>The output from the test:</p> <pre> test1..........False [] range "\w-" in regex; marked by line 20.
