I don't think there is anything special about the t directory that upsets Devel::Cover. The problem is related to relative paths and changing directories within the tests/test suite. As a partial solution to the problem you can try giving an absolute path to the database when Devel::Cover is run, eg perl -MDevel::Cover=-db,$PWD/cover_db ... This particular problem seems to have hit the top of the most wanted list so I'll see what I can do with it for the next release. Who are these people who change directories and don't put things back as they found them? ;-) -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net
