All the CPAN Testers website code already implements QP, as some reports are already sent in that format, so there'll be no problem there. Ask has hinted that switching to the JSON format for reading (and submission) isn't to far awar either, so it will hopefully be a fairly short term issue anyway. > Things checking subject would be entirely unaffected, as CTE only > affects the body.

The CPAN::WWW::Testers::Generator::Article uses Email::Simple by this RJBS guy. Hopefully he knows what he's talking about ;^) Cheers, Barbie. -- Birmingham Perl Mongers <http://birmingham.pm.org> Memoirs Of A Roadie <http://barbie.missbarbell.co.uk>
