Re^2: How to use the local Devel::Cover module?

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I'm familiar with this special env. Did you mean the following? (added a newline):

PERL5LIB=<path-to-your-local-directory>
perl -MDevel::Cover=-silent,1,-db,${cover_db}" <script>
[download]

Also, the Devel::Cover already installed in the lib of the "perl". I think it will still take the one already installed and not the one I cloned.

No, I meant to have everything in one line. That way, setting of PERL5LIB is valid for this particular invocation of perl only and does not clobber the current value of PERL5LIB (if any) for the rest of your shell session (if exported).

$: TEST=this    #-- your shell might need to 'export' explicitly
$: echo $TEST
this
$: TEST=that eval 'echo $TEST'
that
$: echo $TEST
this

Setting PERL5LIB the way you did, would keep the setting for the rest of your shell session. You might consider to set it in your shells configuration (.bashrc, .profile, etc.) if required.

I am not sure, if I understood your last question.

I think it will still take the one already installed and not the one I cloned.
