Good.  And before I even got around to replying to your post!

That's odd.  I would have expected at least three "skipped" messages, or
did not just not send them?

Urgh.  That probably indicates a crash while Devel::Cover is trying to
collect the last of the data.  Is is possible for you to test under
5.8.x?  5.6.1 was the first perl version with enough infrastructure to
support Devel::Cover, but I really suggest 5.8.1 or above for serious
use due to the many fixes that have gone in to that version.  (5.8.0
isn't too bad, either.)

(The implication here is that if the bug exists on 5.8.x then it's more
likely to be fixed.)

Doesn't look too bad.  (The time figures under 5.6.1 on Windows are
pretty much useless.)  Thanks a lot for testing.
