THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY POD::COVERAGE NOT RECOGNIZING THAT
THE CONSTANTS 
THAT ARE EXPORTED BY ONE MODULE (GRAPH::EASY::EDGE) AND
IMPORTED INTO 
ANOTHER MODULE (GRAPH::EASY) ARE IN FACT, IMPORTED, AND NOT
ACTUALLY 
DEFINED IN GRAPH::EASY.

SINCE I THOUGHT THIS BUG HAS BEEN RESOLVED IN BLEAD LONG
TIME AGO, I AM 
CC:ING P5P SO THIS CAN BE FIXED BEFORE THE RELEASE.

(NO, THIS IS NOT A BUG IN MY MODULE, AND NO, WORKING AROUND
THAT PROBLEM BY 
BRUSHING THE CONSTANT SUBROUTINES UNDER THE PROVERBIAL
TESTING RUG BY 
MANUALLY EXCLUDING THEM IS NOT ACCEPTABLE).

ALL THE BEST,

Can you describe the problem in a way that doesn't involve
figuring out
what Graph::Easy/Grapy::Easy::Edge are doing?  A quick look
at the source
for the latter shows no exports, so I'm not sure what's
going on.

Does "my module" mean Graph::Easy?  A
self-contained testcase would be
very helpful.
