But you're willing to shoot down cpan-testers just because they're the messenger! Thanks. The problem is CPANPLUS trying to be backward compatible. I suggest you take this up on the cpanplus mailing list. This is exactly the same attitude that forced me to quit being a tester a few years ago. For some reason authors decide to ignore the fact that CPANPLUS has made a decision they don't like and sees cpan-testers as an easy target instead. Seeing as you don't care about why it happens, then I suspect, like with another author, you'll continue to deride the efforts of cpan-testers until they quit or add you to their exclusion list. Neither is a welcome scenario. Thanks for the support! Barbie. -- Birmingham Perl Mongers <http://birmingham.pm.org> Memoirs Of A Roadie <http://barbie.missbarbell.co.uk>
