Does anyone know why File-Path is unresponsive to 'cover'?
Thanks, yary. Yes, after I posted I recalled that Devel::Cover does
exclude core modules. IIRC, pjcj had a project called 'p5cover' which
was intended to rectify that, but I don't know that project's current
status.
In any case, on my previous laptop I located some correspondence with
pjcj from two years ago in which I reported having found a hack for this
case: Create a branch. In the branch rename 'Path.pm' to something
like 'ABCPath.pm', then do a global search-and-replace in all files
(except things like README, TODO and Changes) to impose the new name.
At that point you can run 'perl Makefile.PL && make', and from that
point Devel::Cover sees a brand new library and calculates coverage.
Thank you very much.
