That's not particularly difficult. CPANdeps already has all the required info, as it has reverse deps too - that is, it can also report on which modules depend on any particular module as well as what dependencies a module has. Using that info to spot failures in your prerequisites should be a fairly simple patch to the scripts that import the cpan-testers data. Just need a web by interface for authors to sign up (probably per dist as well as per author) and some way of keeping track of which dist/version failures have been reported to who. Finally, a link from the reverse deps page to lists of reports. Patches welcome! -- David Cantrell This electrogram was despatched by wireless field telegraph.
