Devel::Cover can't find modules

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

I get the following error when a program with Devel::Cover:

Devel::Cover: Can't find file "blib/lib/Storable.pm" (blib/lib/Storabl
+e.pm (autosplit into blib/lib/auto/Storable/retrieve.al)): ignored.
Devel::Cover: Can't find file "blib/lib/Net/SSLeay.pm" (blib/lib/Net/S
+SLeay.pm (autosplit into blib/lib/auto/Net/SSLeay/randomize.al)): ign
+ored.

I've searched extensively through Google and here at PerlMonks but have not been able to divine what the error is trying to tell me, or even what this whole 'blib/lib' jazz is about. Can anyone help me with this problem or enlighten me to what the whole 'blib/lib' thing is?

What exactly are you doing with your code? I can't extensively search through anything trying to guess what the errors mean without you spitting a line of code, or so. The `blib` directory used only during modules installation process. Are you testing modules? Open source softwares? Share and enjoy. Make profit from them if you can. Yet, share and enjoy!

Sorry, I should have made it clearer. I have a test suite for some libraries and it runs all fine and dandy. In order to get code coverage, I simply added `use Devel::Cover` to the test program which causes the warning to be thrown. The output from `Devel::Cover` is still created in cover_db, and I can run the `cover` command to get pretty output and that all works just fine. So, in short, everything is installed and working, I'm just confused why that warning is being thrown. I did find while searching yesterday that it the 'blib' thing might have something to do with an autoloader and indeed, `Devel::Cover` makes use of DynaLoader.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You probably didn't set it up right. Try this: 1.) You'll need Test::Run, Test::Run::CmdLine, and Test::Trap 2.) download CGI 3.) Unpack and cd to the t directory 4.) Run: `HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES="-MDevel::Cover" runprove -v` 5.) Then run: `cover` I hope this helps.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Ah-ha! I'm not sure which of the depended modules fixed it, but installing `Test::Run`, `Test::Run::CmdLine` & `Test::Trap` along with their own dependencies made the warning from `Devel::Cover` go away. Thanks for the tip!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
