Sam Villain suggested I try Devel::Cover instead of the homegrown test coverage library I'm currently using for POE. I was skeptical, having seen it fail pretty badly in the past, but I gave it a shot. Devel::Cover 0.34 (Perl 5.8.2, singlethreaded) works much better than in the past. It still introduces test failures, however. I used a modified version of the recommended "make test" commands: /usr/local/perl-582/bin/cover -delete HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES=-MDevel::Cover make test /usr/local/perl-582/bin/cover I suspect that the errors are caused by C<use>ing modules from string eval(). I'm doing that to test the presence of modules so I can skip some tests. The first error: t/06_tk....................ok 1/11Subroutine Tk::Widget::IsLabel redefined at /usr/local/perl-582/i386-freebsd/Tk/Widget.pm line 250.

This works fine for me using perl 5.8.3, Tk-804.025_beta16 and Devel::Cover 0.37 on Solaris 8. It's hard to say where the bug was, but it appears to have been fixed. Show quoted text

I see this too. I'll look into it, though in this case the coverage would not have been reported so you can safely ignore the warning. Show quoted text

I'll need to install gtk2 to track this down. I have seen similar messages before when using bleadperl, but not from a stable release. If you are able to test it, I would be interested to know whether this error still occurs with 5.8.3. Thanks very much for the report. -- Paul Johnson - paul@pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.net

I think it's about time this one got closed. I've just run the latest Devel::Cover on perl 5.14.0-tobe with the latest Tk and, whilst not perfect, the results are pretty good. If I ever get a perfect coverage run against Tk I will pronounce the project complete.
