Not a bad idea. Issues I can think of... * Devel::Cover is very slow, I don't know if you'd want it on all the time like test reporting. * As mentioned, Devel::Cover is not perfect and often screws up test results, threading particularly is a problem, so that it will give false negatives. This is a common problem, one example is Test::More.
