In case any of you didn't hear, Leon Brocard has put out a release
candidate for perl 5.005_05:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2007-10/msg00084.html
He wants people to build it on as many platforms, toolchains, compilers
etc as possible and run the tests.
I was going to also run all the distributions that have PASSes with
5.005_04 through it (there are 90 of them) but there's a problem.
CPAN::Reporter needs a shiny new CPAN.pm, which in turn needs
Scalar-List-Utils, which won't build.
But if anyone can get CPANPLUSish testing working on it, I'm sure Leon
would be delighted to receive any fail results :-)
To get the list of distributions to test ...
SELECT DISTINCT dist, version
FROM cpanstats
WHERE perl='5.5.4' AND
state='pass';
is what you need to ask Barbie's cpan testers database.
