Since you changed the mailing list of the conversation, it might be good for 
you to start from the beginning with a blank e-mail so that people aren't 
confused by the other conversation we were having on cpan-testers-discuss. I'm 
not on the cpan-discuss mailing list, so I'm not sure why you're trying to have 
a conversation with me at the same time you're having a separate conversation 
with them. I've told you all I know about the subject, and this is not the 
cpan-testers-discuss list.
