Longer term, is Devel::Cover's runtime capture doing anything that Devel::NYTProf doesn't do these days? ie - is it possible to refactor Devel::Cover to provide the same coverage reports, but generate them from an nytprof.out file? If not, what's missing from the nytprof.out file? Would this reduce the maintenance load on Devel::Cover? Nicholas Clark
