Thanks, at a glance, it looks like Devel::Cover's not reporting coverage
in child processes (it, the bulk of VCP's testing).  For instance, I
can't see how VCP::ConfigFileUtils::parse_config_file() only got called
once given that many of the tests pipe a config "file" in to vcp's
STDIN.  And I know we execute a number of lines inside it.

Could it be that Devel::Cover is not being enabled on the child
processes?  We should be able to pass it in nicely by doctoring
VCP::TestUtils::vcp_cmd().

Other issues:

    - any way to get it to ignore VCP::TestUtils::*?
    - any way to get it to handle uncalled die()s separately (failure
      modes are the hardest things to test for, and I'd like to
      deprioritize them when searching for untested code)?

Thanks,
