in reply to devel cover ambigous error

Have you read the documentation of the cover tool?

You don't show how exactly you are invoking the cover tool to "sometimes" get the error (or warning) message. I guess that, as the message says, there are multiple interpretations for the given option of -report and the tool does not know which one you meant.

I guess you need to be more explicit in your choice of options.

    I don't know why Getopt::Long gives this error instead of saying "Option report requires an argument", which is what it did before the report_c0, report_c1 and report_c2 options were added. But in any case, you should get that error message whenever you don't provide the required argument to the report option, and never when you do.
