CPAN::Reporter is pretty much agnostic on the topic of good user practice. "NA" pretty much means "failed but for a logical reason". The next version will have a better intro paragraph to help module authors interpret reports they are copied on.
Maybe I should tweak the default settings for the "NA" case to be less aggressive at sending the report. Regards, David Golden On 11/27/06, Spiros Denaxas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hey Robin, You are absolutely right. Unfortunately, i noticed it too late but the request had already been sent. I was trying to install WebService::YouTube so your module was one of the dependencies automatically followed by CPAN.pm. I'll do my best to configure the system im building to skip reports when failed dependencies are detected instead of sending them out. Once again my apologies for this :-) Spiros On 11/28/06, Robin Berjon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear Spiros, cpan-testers, > > I thank you for your restless testing and excellent work.
