Guys,
I want to once again thank everyone who helped me work through the
issues here, and most especially Tony (for explaining what config_args
meant and why it probably wasn't the smoking gun I thought it was),
Andreas (for the brilliant suggestion of using `diag` to get what
timezone the smoker is in on future failure reports), and Joel (for a
nice simple example to check, and also for kicking me in the ass to get
my Dist::Zilla plugin bundle fixed, finally). The problem, as many of
you suspected, is rooted in timezone differences. Still working on the
exact fix, although I have the methodology firmly in mind.
In the meantime, I've put up a blog post[1] about my experiences trying
to track down the problem, and, in particular the extensive rewrites I
did to tobyink's `cpan-testers` CLI client. If you don't care to read
through my whole post just to find a link to the script, you can hop
directly to my GitHub repo.[2] Even though it didn't help me find the
problem this time--*you* guys did that--I think it could help other
folks find their problems, so I wanted to share it with the community.
Thx again.
