Alright, monks - I'm at a total loss and can't seem to find anyone who's seen this issue before and was hoping you all could help ...

I am trying to get a mod_perl2 app (I will detail the specifics here in a bit) running Devel::Cover while being tested with Apache::Test. From everything I've read from Devel::Cover's POD to different forums (one of many examples including the mod_perl mailing lists) it's supported and been done before, yet I keep running into wall after wall. Here's where I've gotten: 

[warning] setting ulimit to allow core files
ulimit -c unlimited; /usr/bin/perl /home/trevor/Downloads/t/TEST -bugr
+eport -verbose=0
/usr/local/apache2/trevor/bin/httpd  -d /home/trevor/Downloads/t -f /h
+ome/trevor/Downloads/t/conf/httpd.conf -D APACHE2 -D PERL_USEITHREADS
using Apache/2.2.9 (prefork MPM)

waiting 60 seconds for server to start: ..Devel::Cover 0.64: Collectin
+g coverage data for branch, condition, statement, subroutine and time
+.

With the following in my error logs: 

Undefined subroutine &main:: called.

Now, when compared to a normal Devel::Cover output on the same server, I get:

+tement, subroutine and time.
    Pod coverage is unavailable.  Please install Pod::Coverage from CP

With that, and without stepping through every tedious line of code of mine, Test, Apache and Devel, I can only assume Devel::Cover is dying when trying to attach to the unit test with Aapche::Test embedded within it... but I don't know.

Has anyone ever ran into this before and/or have any ideas/hints/hacks for a solution?
