Paul, I had downloaded the Devel::Cover module form the URL http://search.cpan.org/author/PJCJ/Devel-Cover-0.20/ and trying to get the coverage for a program. I had installed the Devel::Cover module and here is what I had done:
* I am using the perl version 5.8.0 . The command I had given is : perl -MDevel::Cover=-db,program_1,-coverage,statement,time program_1.pl The file program_1.pl contains: ================================= #!/usr/local/bin/perl print "Hello World\n"; ================================= The above command creates a directory and by name program_1 and creates a file by name cover.4 in it. Now when I run the command : cover program_1 -report text I get the following output : Reading database from program_1 -------------------------------------------------------- ------ ------ ------ File stmt time total -------------------------------------------------------- ------ ------ ------ program_1.pl 0.00 n/a 0.00 Total 0.00 n/a 0.00 -------------------------------------------------------- ------ ------ ------ program_1.pl line err stmt time code 1 #!/usr/local/bin/perl 2 3 *** 0 print "Hello World\n"; 4 Paul, I am not able to understand why is it showing the coverage as 0.
