It looks like the DNS is failing as that should resolve to stats.cpantesters.org. I'll look into that. Also note that the wiki should be referenced at wiki.cpantesters.org, as the grango.org sub-domains will eventually be depreciated.

How do I contact cpan testers who have submitted failed test reports
Hi All, I am in the process of getting ready to submit a new release of Sys::SigAction, as a result of a bug (with patch) that was opened recently. So I decided to look at the test results and see if I could figure out what is valid and what is not. In the case of Win32 OSes I am going to just going to die with a warning in Makefile.PL that includes the string OS unsupported, before I make the Makefile. That will remove those failures for this unsupported OS. However, there are some other tests in POSIX OSes I think should have worked but have failures of one test or another. (BSD seems to be a common thread for one of the tests). I want to contact the testers to get more information, before I just mask off the failed test for that configuration. I suspect the original test reports were sent to me in the days when my SPAM filtering was not very good, and I probably missed them, so I need another way to get to the testers in question. According to http://cpantest.grango.org/wiki/CPANAuthorNotes the url http://perl.grango.org/cpanmail.html can be used to convert test report number into an email address... the only problem is I get a 404 page not found error when I go there. Thanks to anyone who can provide the keys to the testers email address kingdom... I really don't want to just mask off these OSes without understanding more. Lincoln

It's been relocated to the new cpantesters.org domain: http://stats.cpantesters.org/cpanmail.html Sorry that the wiki was out of date. I'll fix that now. -- David On Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 8:46 PM, Lincoln A.
