Devel::Cover HTML report process killed

santosh044 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have test suite with over 200+ selenium test cases where in each I capture the coverage using Devel::Cover. After all the test cases are run, when I try to generate the HTML report using 'cover cover_db -report html' the process is killed after consuming all the memory nearly 16 GB with error out of memory. Any idea how to resolve this? Any help would be great

I have no clue, but here are some pointers in directions you might look at (Cover Bugs) * 36336 * 67610 Questions: When you remove the `cover_db` directory, and run it, does it still crash? (how big is that dir anyway?) Did it work before and it stopped working or are you setting it up? How about running it in chunks (if you have multiple pm's, do you have separate test files, or just one big one?) How about alter default values, and requesting less information?
