I think you might just need to read a couple of lines further in the docs.
From the sound of things, you have created a module in the standard format,
and so you want the next section, "To test an uninstalled module:"
cover -delete
HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES=-MDevel::Cover make test
cover
or perhaps you might prefer the newer, underdocumented alternative:
cover -test
which does about the same thing, but also includes a little light magic to
try running gcov on your XS files, if you have both gcov and XS files.
But perhaps a part of the problem here is that you don't have "make"
available? In that case, you should [....]
Download the free nmake from Microsoft at:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/patch/1.52/w95/en-us/nmake15.exe
and put it in a directory in your path (system32 or your perl\bin
directory come to mind).
:-)
Cheers,
Yves
ps: The free nmake has been available from that url for ages.
