I'll be taking part in the Devel::Cover hackathon tomorrow. Is there anything in particular I should hack on?
Devel::Cover::Inc

I don't know if this is practical... Devel::Cover creates an install-time Inc.pm that captures your default @INC so Devel::Cover knows which
.pm's not to analyze.
The problem is that if you change your $ENV{PERL5LIB} after installing Devel::Cover, you have to force reinstall it to get the @INC ignore path to change. Additionally, this makes it hard to make binary packages for Devel::Cover for distros, since the builder's @INC may be different from the end user's @INC.
I have no idea what a better approach is (which has prevented me from submitting an RT bug), but I think a solution that avoids an install-time decision would be best, if possible.
