Hi Paul, "-MDevel::Cover=+ignore,\\.pt$ ..." really helps!
If I want to use Devel::Cover module in my code and not from commandline, say I would like to use "use Devel::Cover;" in code, what I should add after "use Devel::Cover" to make it works as "-MDevel::Cover=+ignore,\\.pt$ ...". Many thanks again in advance.
