In my development copy of Devel::Cover I have code which records which tests trigger the various coverage criteria. Such information should allow these dependencies to be generated automatically, at least as far as code dependencies are concerned, and would also allow more detailed dependencies to be generated if required. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net
