What I did was to patch Devel::Cover to include JavaScript to allow soring of the results by clicking a header in the table. This way, it was easier
to find those modules with poor POD coverage, and any other coverage metric. The developer(s) of Devel::Cover are introducing this into their next
release, ut who knows when that release will be. I could provide a diff, but we may be able to check out Devel::Cover from cvs/svn until the 0.62 is
made.
