I wonder how you did get the reports sent at all. CPAN::Reporter
doesn't do anything if you are just doing "make test". If you use the
CPAN shell on a local directory (i.e. "cpan -t ."), then
CPAN::Reporter also does the right thing:
| Reporting via CPAN::Reporter is disabled for local directories
So maybe you used something like CPAN::Inject?
