Or feel free to let Devel::Cover generate the reports. Devel::Cover
comes with a program to translate gcov output into the format that
Devel::Cover understands. This is used to generate full Perl 5 coverage
reports. See http://www.test-smoke.org/perlcover.shtml
If coverage data are available for any other languages involved in
Parrot then similar conversions should be fairly simple.
This is a great idea! This means we can use one tool for more parts
of the source. Thanks for pointing it out! :-)
