Devel::Cover failure: Storable binary image v2.7 more recent than I am (v2.6)

2005-12-24 Thread James E Keenan
I would like to report a problem I encountered using Devel::Cover today and how I got around it. In preparation for CPAN uploads, I was using Devel::Cover v0.55 on Perl 5.8.7 to do coverage analysis of two different modules I maintain. One of these modules, Data::Presenter, has been under int
