CPAN::Reporter has had timeout support in its record_command() function for a while. The current repository version (will be 1.07_06) adds a 'command_timeout' config option that always applies if CPAN doesn't specify an inactivity timeout (and applies to make and test phases as well). In writing tests for killing inactive processes (oh, what fun), I did find some bugs in the implementation that _06 addresses. Overall, because CPAN.pm gives CPAN::Reporter responsibility for running the command, I have good control for managing timeouts and still handling reports. CPAN::Reporter::Smoker will use that to automatically "do-the-right-thing". > As for hitting CTRL-C during testing modules interactively ( rather than > smoking ), if I do this CPANPLUS will prompt me to edit the report and I > envdeavour to add some comment to report as to why I found it necessary to > do that. I'll look into what that would take. If it's easier than saving to a temp file, I might go that way. David
