Devel::Cover 0.62 is a maintenance release, still crucial for any module author

I don't usually bother with little maintenance releases, but Devel::Cover is a crucial module that should be in any module author's arsenal, and it's been nine months since its last release. Most of the enhancements are minor ("quieten some warnings," "tidy up filename normalisation"), but I suspect the table sorting in the HTML reports will be a boon to those with big modules.

Most of all, I urge any module author who has not yet used Devel::Cover to check the test coverage of her test suite to do so today. Devel::Cover is an amazing module that will probably uncover at least one hole in your test coverage, and may even find a place where bugs can get out untested. It's that good.
