Dear Dr. Why and other denizens and seekers of Perl wisdom,

I have encountered a similar issue and need to merge Devel::Cover databases. Did you (or anyone else) make any progress on this issue? Thanks.

    In fact I did solve that problem along with a couple of other issues I ran into along the way. I've been meaning to send diffs to the module's maintainer for inclusion in a future release, but it seems my big bag of round tuits has holes in it and the tuits keep leaking out.

    Maybe this will give me the excuse I need to move this forward.

      In the spirit of the holidays (insert your favorite end-of-year holiday), please forward those diffs. It would be most appreciated and save us much mental anguish. (Not to forget that it would make us look good to our bosses.)
      Thanks.

        If you haven't already, could you please post the diff/submit a bug to the Devel::Cover queue as this change would be really welcome

    I did hack similar problem with few steps:
    1. Check which of databases has the most files (let's say it is database3 in original example)
    2. Put that database first in the command, i.e.

    cover database3 database1 database2 ...

    it seems to work for me - maybe will help somebody as well.
