Looking at the coverage data for that test, its severely damaged.

Run ./perl -Ilib -d:Coverge t/lib/dumper.t (assuming Devel::Coverage
is somewhere in PERL5LIB) and you get t/dumper.t.cvp with everything
commented out.  Even so, there's no mention of Data::Dumper.

Methinks there's still a few bugs in the system.
