in thread Problems installing Devel::Cover on Strawberry, seems to work on Cygwin
What did work was to add the following symbols to global.sym ....
Seems that's one way to make those symbols public. Nice hack - though if you ever need to access a different private symbol, you'll have to rebuild perl again.
I'm curious to know whether the Devel::Cover that you built with this hacked perl-5.10.0 will work on an unhacked perl-5.10.0. (Others would probably know the answer to that without needing to test it.) Have you tried that out ? If it works on the unhacked version of perl, then it could be handy for others if the binary of your build of Devel::Cover (either ppm package or just a tar.gz of blib) was made available.
Cheers,
Rob
