Re^2: Setting Devel::Cover options for a web application

[talexb]

Outstanding! I changed the httpd.conf line to

SetEnv PERL5OPT   "-MDevel::Cover=-dir,/opt/FES/data"

And it Just Worked. The time before that, I had a space instead of the comma. Crazy stuff, man. I think I'm gonna write to the author and pass that along. Thanks again!

I'd suggest another addition to your httpd.conf:

<IfDefine COVERAGE>
  SetEnv PERL5OPT   "-MDevel::Cover=-dir,/opt/FES/data"
</IfDefine>

Add a new section in your apachectl (or however you launch apache):

startcover() {
  echo -n $"Starting apache with code coverage: "
  $http_bin $other_options -DCOVERAGE
}

Adjusting where necessary for different apachectl's (ours is heavily customized, but anyone reasonably familiar with apache administration ought to be able to take it from here).

And then just invoke it thusly:

$ apachectl startcover
