The MetaCPAN Travis CI coverage builds are quite slow. See https://travis-ci.org/metacpan/metacpan-web/builds/238884497 This is likely in part because we're not successfully ignoring the /local folder that gets created by Carton as part of our build. See https://coveralls.io/builds/11809290
We're using perl-helpers to help with our Travis configuration. I thought I should be able to use the DEVEL_COVER_OPTIONS environment variable in order to fix this, but I guess I don't have the correct incantation. I've included the entire config below because a few snippets out of context seemed misleading.

# that the snapshot was built from.

# Get one passing run with coverage and one passing run with Test::Vars
# checks. If run together they more than double the build time.

The syntax for the Devel::Cover options on the command line is weird. You need to put stuff comma-separated. At least when you use PERL5OPT.
DEVEL_COVER_OPTIONS="-ignore,^local/"
See for example https://github.com/simbabque/AWS-S3/blob/master/.travis.yml#L26, where it's a whole lot of stuff with commas.
PERL5OPT=-MDevel::Cover=-ignore,"t/",+ignore,"prove",-coverage,statement,branch,condition,path,subroutine prove -lrs t
