does it mean that eventually we'll have to rewrite dgcov to support
json format?

I don't see any changes since the last review. Is it the correct commit?

I think this contradicts your explanation in the commit comment.

You wrote that the file name can be either dbug.c.gcda.gcov or
dbug.c.gcov. Here $_ is dbug.c.gcda, you unconditionally remove .gcda
and then below you open $filename.gcov, that is dbug.c.gcov

Which means this won't work with an older gcov.
Is this your intention?

I think it's fine not to support old gcov. But this should be a
conscious decision, e.g. you can write in the commit comment "Now
dgcov.pl only supports gcov 7.4+" - if that's indeed what you want.

Also, if you do it this way, then there's no need to use s///, it's
simpler to do, like

  sub gcov_one_file {
    return unless /\.gcda$/;
+   my $filename= $`;
    unless ($opt_skip_gcov) {

or, may be even

  sub gcov_one_file {
    return unless /\.gcda$/;
+   my $gcov_file_path= "$File::Find::dir$`.gcov";
    unless ($opt_skip_gcov) {

> +  my $gcov_file_path= $File::Find::dir."/$filename.gcov";

still an extra slash

> +  if (! -f $gcov_file_path)

> +  }

still not   return unless -f $gcov_file_path;

> +  open FH, '<', "$gcov_file_path" or die "open(<$gcov_file_path): $!";

still extra quotes
