Up through perl-5.37.3, there was a bug in perl (see Perl/perl5#20252 (comment)) which permitted simultaneous use of the '-c' and '-v' switches to the perl interpreter. Once this bug was corrected, t/01all.t began to fail. As Test::Strict has many CPAN distributions depending on it, this test failure has had wide impact.

This pull request modifies tests appropriately and has been tested on bleadperl (v5.37.7-134-g25948dfb24) and on perl-5.32.1, in both cases on threaded builds on FreeBSD-12. Devel::Cover was not installed on bleadperl, hence t/04cover.t was skipped on that build. Otherwise, all tests are passing. In the course of testing, certain additions were made to .gitignore and MANIFEST.SKIP to get metadata-oriented tests to pass.

NOTE: In my git checkout I find the following file:

    .git/hooksfsmonitor-watchman.sample

This is deemed by 'file' to be a Perl executable. As such, it is pushed onto the list of files tested by 'all_perl_files_ok()' at the start of t/01all.t. This in turn means that in my 'git checkout' the count of tests is off by 2 and the test is reported to fail.

    "Looks like you planned 59 tests but ran 61."

Because the files in .git/hooks/ should not be included in the tarball, the count of tests is correct when run from the tarball. I leave to the maintainer to determine how to square this circle. You should probably check for the presence of a .git/ directory and exclude that directory from the list of directories passed to all_perl_files_ok().

For #32

Yeah, this looks right to me. Passes tests as well, except for the issue you mentioned about "Looks like you planned 59 tests but ran 61."
