Some distributions just fail. >From http://search.cpan.org/~hardaker/TheOneRing-0.3/ CPAN Testers FAIL (94) >From http://search.cpan.org/~rglaue/XML-TreePP-XMLPath-0.52/ CPAN Testers PASS (41) FAIL (36) NA (10) > Presumably this is because these modules don't have PREREQ_PM or > xxx_requires set. Is this normal to see so many of these? Some authors just don't care much. > As an aside is there an easy way to locate all the test reports I've > submitted on CPAN. As typically more a consumer than producer of CPAN Testers resports, I wouldn't mind being able to see a report history for testers, more to see whether that report was generated during some sort of outage, eg. see 3818545, 3281415 or whether an apparent configuration problem was systematic, eg. 4037717, 3538790, 2828452, or the just plain strange, eg. 2826797. For 4037717 I contacted the tester and it turned out he'd fixed the problem within a day of sending that test result, but I couldn't see that, because I couldn't see his test history. Tony
