At least in CPAN::Reporter, any environment variables matching /HARNESS/ should get reported, so if you've enabled parallelism that way, it should be visible.On Sun, Oct 25, 2015 at 10:03 PM, Alceu R. de Freitas Jr. <glasswal...@yahoo.com.br <mailto:glasswal...@yahoo.com.br>> wrote:Hi again, I was doing some research to see if there is any way to improve smoker performance by using parallelism. I found this article on http://modernperlbooks.com/mt/2011/11/parallelism-and-test-suites.html that discuss some issues when trying to do something like that.
I use the TEST_JOBS and HARNESS_OPTIONS environment variables to parallelize the testing that I do.
They do catch some errors, but be prepared to deal with authors who disagree that it's their problem!

Interesting as is, is there any feature to mark the tests results
from a distribution that was executed with parallelism? That could
help the authors to identify issues with their tests when running
with parallelism. Maybe we could even mark (in Metacpan) the
distribution as capable to be tested with parallelism.
Or maybe the distribution author could explicit ask to not test
the distribution with parallelism.
Anyway, I just brainstorming here, no patches available right now. :-)
