Using more or less experimental code will not produce valid test results, so your work is wasted. Please stick to 5.6.1 and 5.005_03, those are the versions considered mpost stable. 5.6.0 has known bugs, so test results may happen to reflect them rather than deficiencies in the modules. And 5.7.x are just there to test the quality of the perl implementation, not that of modules. If you must test with 5.7.x or bleadperl, please do not send the results to the database. (I may own the Whole Damn Road, but I don't own cpantest ;-) But I was there when it got started, and this is my opinion on what we practiced then.)
