This is a known problem. Randy, the author, has said that he will provide an updated version when he can. I think the solution involves declaring the DB::DB subroutine earlier, but I am not sure. Your other options are to go back to 5.6.1, or to try Devel::Cover. Devel::Cover should work on a 64 bit perl, but feel free to send me feedback if you try it. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
