Thanks, yes, it seems this is definitely in the direction of what I want.

Is there a Devel::Cover "for dummies" tutorial anywhere? The documentation included in the packaging is okay, but it doesn't actually break down step by step what you have to do.

So far the best string I have found on this is Devel::Cover not finding a test?, which gives a simple dummy test, and the command for how to run it: perl -MDevel::Cover 1.t. I will be mucking around with this until I find something better.


Devel::Cover on Windows? and Lessons learned from getting to 100% with Devel::Cover seem useful as well.

Finally: This is all a general answer for coverage. however, my question was specifically, is there a way to cover only methods? Since this is how most users will be using object code, it stil seems to me that this is an appropriate testing strategy, especially when, as is often the case, you are operating under time constraints.
