Of course CPAN Testers doesn't claim to check whether a module
installs, only whether it passes tests. It doesn't even tell you
whether there are good tests. It could be t/pass.t with a single
pass("fooled you") test and it would still get a PASS grade on CPAN
Testers.
Automated testing doesn't remove to need for real people to find bugs
and report them.
