Integrating CPAN::Reporter would also save the user from some headache. I gave up on portable Strawberry and installed the MSI, then followed the steps at http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/QuickStart, only to get this error when about to send the testing report for a newly installed module:
Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase: could not read ID file '~/.cpantesters/metabase_id.json' The file does exist at %USERPROFILE%/.cpantesters/metabase_id.json I got the same error with portable Strawberry, when metabase_id.json existed at C:\strawberry\data\.cpantesters\ Best regards, Dan Dascalescu On Sun, Jan 30, 2011 at 21:11, Dan Dascalescu wrote: > I just installed Strawberry Portable 5.12.2.
