Any way to get a list of such blacklists? I've
got a couple of modules that don't ever seem to
be tested but have no way of determining why not
or what to do to resolve the problem---if it is
possible to do so....

You may try my prefs:
http://svn.trouchelle.com/perl/cpan/prefs/

You may want to take a look at "hangs", "pl_prompts", "t_prompts", and
(when running tests under Windows) "win32"

Thanks for the link.  CHM/OpenGL- is disabled in win32
because it "Needs freeglut.dll".  That is a general problem
I see with making win32 versions of modules that require
dependencies---how to get them on a platform without any
form of package support.

On the other hand, I just discovered that libblut-0_.dll
is included in current versions of strawberry perl.  I'll
make sure it is picked up by the OpenGL probing if it is
available.

I don't think that FreeGLUT is available in ActiveState
perl distributions.  Any suggestions for CPAN Tester
appropriate way to get and (temporarily) install library
dependencies are welcome.

Chris
