Not that I've seen, nor would I support having them. The goal of CPAN Testers is to test modules on as wide a range of platforms as possible. That includes low-memory virtual hosts. Perl even supposedly runs on android devices -- which would be a severe memory constraint. I'm happy to have testers submit reports from as wide a variety of systems as possible. If I get a new Kindle for the holidays, I might see if Jesse can help me turn my old one into a dedicated CPAN Testers machine. :-) > - Could the ENVIRONMENT AND OTHER CONTEXT section show available memory? The information reported is unique to each client (CPAN::Reporter and CPANPLUS) though these have converged a bit in recent years. Ideally, we'd have one common underlying module for providing such information. If someone were to offer up a cross platform way of reporting it, I'd be happy to apply it to CPAN::Reporter. -- David
