+    The make variable PROVE_TESTS
+    can be used to define a whitespace-separated list of paths relative
+    to the Makefile invoking prove
+    to run the specified subset of tests instead of the default
+    t/*.pl.  For example:
+
+make check PROVE_TESTS='t/001_test1.pl t/003_test3.pl'
+
+

     The TAP tests require the Perl module IPC::Run.
     This module is available from CPAN or an operating system package.
