Guh! .uncoverable would presumably be line number based. That means every time you edit your source file you have to change all the lines in .uncoverable. *shudder* The only other scheme I can think of, pattern matching based on source code, is unreliable. Finally, as with tests and docs, the closer you put the meta-data to the real data the more likely it will be kept up to date. So inline Devel::Cover hints seem the way to go. > Why is it that my TODO list only gets longer? It means your code is popular and people want to use it and everybody loves you!!! Don't call them TODO items, call them "hug lines". ;) -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern Ahh email, my old friend.
