I really really like Devel::Cover, I have disturbed PJCJ and several occasions and it seems as if his tool is actually working and that I am the idiot.
I am writing documentation for this big provisioning system and if was the idea to add tests at the same time.
But as for Games::Bingo the test coverage report gave a lot of 'n/a's instead of useful data on coverage.
I reported this issue a long time ago to PJCJ via rt.cpan.org and I have tried to figure out what the problem was, the scary thing was really that it seems as if I am the only one with this problem, so I expected that it was me who was doing something wrong. But I really needed help to understand what I was doing wrong.
So when this new coverage report came up with all the 'n/a's I turned back to Games::Bingo since this distribution is much smaller and it would be easier to look for the problem there.
After several attempts and clean up of the code, I got it working. I released 0.14 of Games::Bingo to CPAN. I was however unsure what specifically had made it work again - and I still am.
Anyway I applied some of the same patterns to the provision system code (the tests) and it worked out. The problem seemed to be: BEGIN { use_ok(...); }; statements.use lib qw(...) might also play a part, but I have not been able to successfully isolate this complete yet, but I will try to.
I hope I will be able to deliver something concrete to PJCJ, perhaps even a POD patch or similar.
Oh and one last thing, the system I am too test currently has a coverage of 18.8%, so I am silently weeping into my keyboard.
