Until Sept 24, lib/Parrot/BuildUtil.pm was one of those Perl 5 components of Parrot which had 100% test coverage for statements, branches, conditions and subroutines. But then one of our brethren added a new subroutine, generated_file_header(), to that package -- without adding a corresponding test file! [parrot] 509 $ !507 fns t/configure/ | xargs grep -n generated_file_header [parrot] 510 $ Adding new code to thoroughly tested files without accompanying them with unit tests inevitably leads to lower test coverage (see http:// thenceforward.net/parrot/coverage/configure-build/lib-Parrot- BuildUtil-pm.html). And since I'm the person who wrote the tests that got that package to 100% coverage, I take a personal interest in seeing that its coverage remains high. I'd like to ask that a file be added to test this new functionality. You could probably start by copying t/configure/039-slurp_file.t into 04-generated_file_header.t and working from there. Thank you very much. kid51
