PERL5LIB=<path-to-your-local-directory>  perl -MDevel::Cover=-silent,1
+,-db,${cover_db}" <script>

Hi, Thank you for the reply. I'm familiar with this special env. Did you mean the following? (added a newline): `PERL5LIB=<path-to-your-local-directory> perl -MDevel::Cover=-silent,1,-db,${cover_db}" <script>` [download] Also, the Devel::Cover already installed in the lib of the "perl". I think it will still take the one already installed and not the one I cloned.	[reply] [d/l]

No, I meant to have everything in one line. That way, setting of `PERL5LIB` is valid for this particular invocation of `perl` only and does not clobber the current value of `PERL5LIB` (if any) for the rest of your shell session (if exported). `$: TEST=this #-- your shell might need to 'export' explicitly $: echo $TEST this $: TEST=that eval 'echo $TEST' that $: echo $TEST this` [download] Setting `PERL5LIB` the way you did, would keep the setting for the rest of your shell session. You might consider to set it in your shells configuration (`.bashrc`, `.profile`, etc.) if required. I am not sure, if I understood your last question. I think it will still take the one already installed and not the one I cloned. No, with `path-to-your-local-directory`, I meant the `.../lib` directory of your cloned installation. When in doubt try `PERL5LIB=<as-needed> perl -MDevel::Cover=-coverage,none -e 'print "$D +evel::Cover::VERSION <--- HERE!\n"'` [download] and see if the VERSION is as expected (Devel::Cover might print that anyways in its header message).
