But overall perl is ok. It does the job. It provides a good overall basic toolset. I try to avoid modules when possible, especially when not contained in perl core and thus giving up comfort, reimplementing things which are done in a better quality, for reducing Installation efforts needed and keeping Codebase small. (If you use modules, you may end up with other dependent modules).
This is precisely the reason I use, (occasionally now), Python. It is useful enough with its builtin libraries. I try to steer clear of those libraries that could be dependencies for any project, especially for the AMIGA.
I have not ignored this Perl project I will follow on soon with a drawing routine to join up the dots.

PYTHON-COVERAGE(1)					      General Commands Manual						PYTHON-COVERAGE(1)

NAME

       python-coverage - measure code coverage of Python program execution

SYNOPSIS

       python-coverage -x module.py [ARG...]
       python-coverage -e
       python-coverage -r [-m]
       python-coverage -a [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       python-coverage	executes  a Python program and measures which of its statements are executed and which are not.  It stores the information
       in the file .coverage in the current working directory.

OPTIONS

       -e     Erase the .coverage file.

       -x     Execute a Python module, giving it the remaining command line arguments.

       -r     Produce a coverage report.

       -m     With -r, show the line numbers that were missed by the execution.

       -a     Annotate source files.  For each source file foo, produce foo,cover, with executed lines prefixed by ">" and non-executed by "!".

       --help Produce a help summary.  It might be more helpful than this manual page.

AUTHOR

       The python-coverage command is a one-line Python script which calls the coverage.py Python module to do all the work.  The module was rigi-
       nally developed by Gareth Rees, and is now developed by Ned Batchelder.	The module's home page is
       http://www.nedbatchelder.com/code/modules/coverage.html.

       This manual page was cobbled together by Lars Wirzenius for Debian, by copy-pasting from the help texts from the module.
