Hi Paul, You are right, I found a 0 size file under the "cover_db/structure" folder. After I removed that 0 size file, my "cover" worked fine to merge all the data and generated HTML file.
The 0 size file, I think, is because some test was killed for timeout because of the slow-down of the test process since we instrumented all test and product scripts with Devel::Cover. When the test process was killed and terminated abnormal, I think, Devel::Cover was still trying to grab the test process to generate data, so there was no any data actually got generated because the test processes had been killed. Is this a reasonable explaination to the 0 size data file?
