There's been a few failed reports like this caused by apparently not having the database server either running or accessable when running the tests. If that's the case, that's not really the fault of the module - perhaps CPANPLUS, when running in automatic mode, should check first that the server is available, and if not, skip testing such packages? best regards, randy kobes
