in reply to Devel::Cover on Windows?

For the time being just use the last known good version which is 0.34. Heard of RT? If you're itchy you may with to work it out as per unresolved external symbol _get_elapsed win32.c.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Thanks PodMaster,

    I found the CPAN Testers report, but must have missed version 0.34, which reports Win32 passed. So I downloaded that version and tried it.

    It Makes/Compiles ok, but tests are very suspicious. The effect is:
    - nmake test fails 100%
    - nmake testdb TEST_FILE=t/aalias.t gives 'ok 1'
    (define __COVER__DEBUG for debug output)

    Then I had a deeper look at version 0.40, fixed the unresolved externals and get the same effect.

    RT is Request Tracker, which I had heard of and which I now have seen ;-) Thank You for this second hint.
    As it states, the author seems to work on the first part. So I decided to contact him and offered my results. This should avoid double work.

    Thank You all again for your hints.

    And it came to pass that in time the Great God Om spake unto Brutha, the Chosen One: "Psst!"
