That's the problem that I am facing at work. I see from glancing at the CPAN that you've not deleted the older versions of Devel::Cover, so at least people would have a fallback position, but I suspect that requiring 5.8+ would seriously hamper the adoption of Devel::Cover. Later this might be practical, but for now, I'd be concerned. So far, I've only convinced one team at my work is using Devel::Cover, but they're already using 5.8. Trying to get others to adopt it would be impossible without 5.6 support. Of course, if 5.8 meant that Devel::Cover used considerably less memory and I could actually use it with our largest test suite (which takes almost two hours to run), then I'll cheerfully encourage you :) Cheers, Ovid ===== Silence is Evil http://users.easystreet.com/ovid/philosophy/indexdecency.htm Ovid http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=17000 Web Programming with Perl http://users.easystreet.com/ovid/cgi_course/
