This:  http://github.com/Ovid/app--prove--history

That's a really old repository and I've no idea if the code still works with App::Prove.  Plus, the code is rather shabby in places and tough to read. I was planning on going in and doing some major cleanup, but never did. It should have used the plugin mechanism (can't recall why I didn't), but instead uses a separate executable:

    hprove t/

Then to see results:

    sqlite3 .provedb

App::Prove::History::Builder explains the schema.  I really should have finished that module :/

Cheers,
Ovid
