.SH NAME
App::Prove::State \- State storage for the "prove" command.
.SH VERSION
.IX Header "VERSION"
Version 3.44
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \f(CW\*(C`prove\*(C'\fR command supports a \f(CW\*(C`\-\-state\*(C'\fR option that instructs it to
store persistent state across runs. This module implements that state
and the operations that may be performed on it.
.SH SYNOPSIS

Accepts a hashref with the following key/value pairs:
.IP \(bu 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`store\*(C'\fR
.Sp
The filename of the data store holding the data that App::Prove::State reads.
.IP \(bu 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`extensions\*(C'\fR (optional)
.Sp
The test name extensions.  Defaults to \f(CW\*(C`.t\*(C'\fR.
.IP \(bu 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`result_class\*(C'\fR (optional)
.Sp
The name of the \f(CW\*(C`result_class\*(C'\fR.  Defaults to \f(CW\*(C`App::Prove::State::Result\*(C'\fR.

considered tests. Defaults to ['.t'].
