Hi folks, I just spotted this [1] for one of my distributions, and wondered whether there is any mileage in the smoker bots checking whether CPAN/CPANPLUS has been suitably configured before being run.
[1] http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/12/msg6531704.html In this case Acme::CPANAuthors::Utils provides the check in _cpan_file(), so I can potentially catch this in tests and skip as appropriate, but could it affect other distributions?
