This is generally the best way, as Devel::Cover will try to collect as little information as it can while the tests are running. If you have already collected the coverage the -file and -exclude options to cover will allow you to choose the files on which to report. I should probably change those to be -select and -ignore to match. Thank goodness I'm still on alpha versions ;-) -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net
