Devel::Cover should work under mod_perl. I have used it successfully
with the Template Toolkit, but I am not a Mason user and I don't recall
any previous reports of success or otherwise with Mason.
I suggest using Devel::Cover from your mod_perl startup script (see the
docs). You might like to check that $ENV{MOD_PERL} is being set. IIRC
it should be set to 1 under mp1 and 2 under mp2.
When Mason works with Perl code, does it manage __LINE__ and __FILE__
correctly? If so, then Devel::Cover should report coverage at the
correct place. You can probably assume this is OK if error messages
from your template point you to the code correctly.
If you still have problems you might need to come back with a bit more
information.
Good luck.
