My parsing code looks at the whole body and looks for specific strings within, eg: $$body =~ /Summary of my (?:perl\d+)? \((?:revision )?(\d+(?:\.\d+)?) (?:version|patchlevel) (\d+) subversion\s+(\d+) ?(.*?)\) configuration/s The double dash is ignored completely. In fact, I would go so far as to suggest it ought to be a proper section, as per the Tester Comments, Program Output, etc. Incidentally, I've just noticed that a recent report of mine, could potentially have been an issue, as a double dash appears at the top of the report: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/04/msg1303800.html I'm not aware of anyone else parsing the reports directly on a regular basis, so I'm inclined to suggest getting rid of the potentially troublesome double dashes completely :) Cheers, Barbie. -- Birmingham Perl Mongers <http://birmingham.pm.org> Memoirs Of A Roadie <http://barbie.missbarbell.co.uk>
