Notice Devel::Cover will likely soon require perl 5.8 or above as discussed here.

I just successfully installed Devel-Cover-0.40 on Windows XP with perl 5.8.3 as shown below. Sorry, I don't have time to investigate further right now, but a quick search for gettimeofday in perl 5.8 sources brought some hits in Time::HiRes (which is a standard module in 5.8) and in other places also.
