Devel::Cover How to get a more indepth report

[Billy Patton]

I can run and get a report telling me a percentage of lines covered and
times spent in each module.

How do I get a line by line reference to each file.
I would like to know which lines did not get touched.

I used a coverage long ago that put ** infromt of each line used and
empty when not used. This is what I'm afer.

Have you run the (default) HTML report? In cover_db/ you get
coverage.html, containing a table with modules in the first column, each
of which is a link to a page showing a table containing every line
preceded by cells reporting its coverage. The first cell is the number of
times the line was called and it's red if the number is zero.

Yea I found the html after running cover.
What I don't know is exactly what the column abbreviations for t he
column names.

If all you're interested in is the number of times a line was visited,
that's in the first column and you can ignore the rest. They're explained
in the tutorial that comes with Devel::Cover (search.cpan.org is your
friend).
