hi all :) I just commited a patch to Apache-Test in svn that removes all the additional work involved with getting Devel::Cover to work for server side tests. now a simple 'make testcover' should be all you need to do to get coverage results from code within handler() subroutines - no more adding modperl_extra.pl entries or other associated foo.
so, for the few here interested in this kind of thing, I'd like to hear people's test results for completeness sake. on my own system (which is slowly dying), I get random core dumps and Devel::Cover failures both in the way I used to do it and the way it works now, so in that sense things work out "the same." but if other people who used to have stuff working now have increased problems I'd love to hear about it. but hopefully all this patch does is lower the barrier to getting coverage in the apache world. for those not terribly svn savvy, you can get Apache-Test from svn like so $ svn checkout \ > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/Apache-Test/trunk Apache-Test thanks, and enjoy. --Geoff
