Hi Paul (and everyone else),

The Devel::Cover documentation says:

The inc directories are initially populated with the contects of the
@INC array at the time Devel::Cover was built. You may reset these
directories using -inc, or add to them using +inc.

However, now that new releases of Perl are coming out every six months, I'm not sure this is such a good idea. I recently upgraded to 5.8.5, and when I ran a cover test run, it covered all the core modules in the new 5.8.5 @INC directories because I still had Devel::Cover installed in the 5.8.4 directories.


So, what's to be lost by having the inc directories default to the contents of @INC when you load Devel::Cover rather than at install time?

Thanks,

David
