szabgab has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

In this application I was trying to get a test coverage report. Using perl 5.30.3 on Ubuntu. (the system perl) and Devel::Cover 1.36 Regular prove works:
prove -l t/basic.t .. ok All tests successful. Files=1, Tests=6, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr 0.00 sys + 0.36 cusr + 0.03 csys = 0.41 CPU) Result: PASS

HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES=-MDevel::Cover prove -l t/basic.t t/basic.t .. All 1 subtests passed Test Summary Report ------------------- t/basic.t (Wstat: 139 Tests: 1 Failed: 0) Non-zero wait status: 139 Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output Files=1, Tests=1, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr 0.00 sys + 0.46 cusr + 0.04 csys = 0.52 CPU) Result: FAIL
The test seem to exit after the first subtest ends.
HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES=-MDevel::Cover prove -lv t/basic.t t/basic.t .. # Subtest: main [2021-04-26 22:19:32.06938] [44235] [debug] [c4XVQ-tuwn5L] GET "/" [2021-04-26 22:19:32.07000] [44235] [debug] [c4XVQ-tuwn5L] Routing to +controller "Course::Management::Controller::Main" and action "welcome +" [2021-04-26 22:19:32.07163] [44235] [debug] [c4XVQ-tuwn5L] Rendering t +emplate "main/welcome.html.ep" [2021-04-26 22:19:32.07310] [44235] [debug] [c4XVQ-tuwn5L] Rendering t +emplate "layouts/default.html.ep" [2021-04-26 22:19:32.07434] [44235] [debug] [c4XVQ-tuwn5L] 200 OK (0.0 +04922s, 203.169/s) ok 1 - GET / ok 2 - 200 OK ok 3 - content is similar 1..3 ok 1 - main # Subtest: course All 1 subtests passed Test Summary Report ------------------- t/basic.t (Wstat: 139 Tests: 1 Failed: 0) Non-zero wait status: 139 Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output Files=1, Tests=1, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr 0.00 sys + 0.46 cusr + 0.05 csys = 0.53 CPU) Result: FAIL

Here I even get a segmentation fault:
$ PERL5OPT=-MDevel::Cover perl -Ilib t/basic.t # Subtest: main ok 1 - GET / ok 2 - 200 OK ok 3 - content is similar 1..3 ok 1 - main # Subtest: course Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Another segmentation fault:
