I'm into testing, got some nice .t files, and prove tells me things I'd
rather not hear. So, my next step on the straight and narrow path of
testing, is to gauge my testing coverage.
IN the doc, the synopsis suggests
"perl -MDevel::Cover yourprog args
cover"
But what can you use in 'yourprog'?
.t and .pl files run, do the tests and have some extra messages implying
that cover was running, but there are no stats printed.
prove also runs my tests, and produces stats, but only for the installed
modules.
Clearly I'm missing something. As a self taught perler on a windows system,
who knows what craziness I'm doing. Any guidance appreciated (mild cheerful
abuse expected)

System info:
Windows 2000 Server
ActivePerl 5.6.? ( know it's not recommended ) if it really doesn't work,
well part of the goal is to check coverage before I go through the upgrade)
30 *.t files
2,000+ tests
prove runs nicely
And thanks to advice here in these archives I was able to get a .ppm for
Devel::Cover.
