When a test passes with perl 5.14 and fails with 5.16, then we will probably be interested in the results with 5.15 (e.g. http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Attribute-Util%201.06 ) Counter example where two lonely fails on some 5.13.x perls are quite disturbing: http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Path-Class-Rule%200.013 -- andreas
