Let me review and propose a path forward. http://groups.google.com/group/perl.cpan.testers/browse_thread/thread/72bcf48d152c17ad/d09e5c5f95dec79d
shows that the bug exists for Test::Reporter 1.53_02 in my setup. You suggest I send my .cpanreporter/config.ini . I will do so, likely within 12 hours. It will show that I send mail through gmail smtp. I use Net::SMTP::TLS , which I understand uses only a subset of Net::SMTP functionality- but maybe all the subroutines? The bug may exist in Net:SMTP or Net::SMTP::TLS (which I recall I use). In the future: It might be useful for me to try sending the $report string through gmail to myself using Net::SMTP::TLS , to see if the long lines cause the problem when isolated from Test::Reporter. I wrote in error that PATH is long; in fact it is PERL5LIB that is long. In the future: I can explore why my PERL5LIB becomes long. It may be related to my use of the minismoker, in which case I should at least update that software and see what happens. Anything else? Thanks.
