I'm wondering if I'm the only one who would love to see
Devel::Cover::Regex? Many (most?) perl programs are pretty regex
heavy, and if we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that each
regex is actually a program in itself. You can try to throw lots of
inputs at it and hope that you were thorough enough, but most of us
aren't that good at figuring out all the crazy ways a regex could
execute. I think this would be a very useful extension to
Devel::Cover, although I imagine that it's pretty tricky to do. Even
figuring out how to display the results might be tough to do well.
Occasionally I have fantasies of having enough free time to really dig
into the internals of the regex engine and trying to do this, but to be
honest I don't really see it happening for me. So, I figure the next
best thing is to throw this idea out here and see if anyone else runs
with it.
