NAME

       Test::Unit::Runner - abstract base class for test runners

SYNOPSIS

           my $runner = Test::Unit::TestRunner->new();
           $runner->filter(@filter_tokens);
           $runner->start(...);

DESCRIPTION

       This class is a parent class of all test runners, and hence is not intended to be used
       directly.  It provides functionality such as state (e.g. run-time options) available to
       all runner classes.

   suites_running()
       Returns an array stack of the current suites running.  When a new suite is started, it is
       pushed on the stack, and it is popped on completion.  Hence the first element in the
       returned array is the top-level suite, and the last is the innermost suite.

   filter([ @tokens ])
       Set the runner's filter tokens to the given list.

   reset_filter()
       Clears the current filter.
