I know of at least one fairly recent case where a module had hundreds of PASSes and zero FAILs even though it had faulty prereqs that made it impossible it to install on a clean perl. How that can be? Because there are many smoke machines with similar setups but little coverage beyond those configurations. In the extreme case, you could install a module into the same perl 700 times in a row and get 700 PASSes; that number is then good for little else than looking impressive. The situation with CPAN Testers is not that dire but you really cannot derive much from the magnitude of result counts or the absence of FAILs.
