Something to to with relative paths in @INC perhaps? Devel::Cover itself also does things to turn programs into tests, and to generate and check against golden results. You might find something there useful. But then again, probably not. (This is also the reason CPANTS thinks Devel::Cover has no tests.) -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net
using examples as tests + Devel::Cover
In a module I have just started to maintain there were 0 tests but there were several exampes with their expected output. As I would like to keep the examples and I would like to have tests but I don't want to duplicate this code I added a test t/sample.t that would run each one of the example files and compare its output to the expected output. (system code out 2err)... So far I have encountered only one problem with this, when I run ./Build testcover I don't get the coverage report from these example scripts. So what do you think about using examples as tests? How could I convince Devel::Cover to collect coverage information from these tests as well? Gabor ps. specifically I am talking about this module: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel/
