Yeah, um, er, cover -ignore doesn't really work all that well. I mean it sort of works and sort of doesn't depending on the report. It should really be fixed. Or, maybe, they should really be fixed. But in this case, I wouldn't expect it to work as you are expecting. <cover -ignore ".pt"> says ignore any files called ".pt". I suspect you don't have any. <cover -ignore_re ".pt"> says ignore any files matching /.pt/, which might be closer to what you want, and I would expect that to have some effect at least. But in general it is much better to ignore modules whilst gathering coverage. This has the added bonuses of making the whole thing quicker, using less space, and mostly working. So something like perl -MDevel::Cover=+ignore,\\.pt$ ... might be what you are really looking for. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net
