This file includes a list of tests to be +skipped. You can include comments starting with C<#> and you can use +the C<*> wildcharacter for multiply files matching. + +For example if in mod_perl 2.0 test suite we create the following file: + + t/SKIP: + ------- + # skip all files in protocol + protocol + + # skip basic cgi test + modules/cgi.t + + # skip all filter/input_* files + filter/input*.t + +In our example the first pattern specifies the directory name +I<protocol>, since we want to skip all tests in it. But since the +skipping is done based on matching the skip patterns from t/SKIP +against a list of potential tests to be run, some other tests may be +skipped as well if they match the pattern. Therefore it's safer to use +a pattern like this: + + protocol/*.t + +The second pattern skips a single test I<modules/cgi.t>. Note that you +shouldn't specify the leading I<t/>. The I<.t> extension is optional, +so you can tell: + + # skip basic cgi test + modules/cgi + +The last pattern tells C<Apache::Test> to skip all the tests starting +with I<filter/input>. =head2 Reporting a Success or a Failure of Sub-tests
