One thing to keep in mind is that using distroprefs to fix things means that CPAN.pm won't ask CPAN::Reporter to generate a report for that distribution -- but fixes do help dependencies get built. > match: > distribution: "/mod_perl-1" > disabled: 1 Even though CPAN::Reporter::Smoker skips mod_perl itself, I think a distropref like this winds up being necessary in case other distributions specify mod_perl as a prerequisite. In response to Lars' question, I've drafted a whole section on using distroprefs with examples for the next release of CPAN-Reporter-Smoker. David
