Is this another CPANPLUS BORKAGE!!!

It's rather irritating to have a module in which all tests pass result in
a really insulting email sent to me about how to write goddamn test
suites!!!

Sorry, but I find the email I got sent highly insulting. Please READ the
output of the test harness.

Also, while I'm at it, please don't put the test report after a signature
marker - this means it gets stripped by most emailers on the reply,
meaning I can't include any context easily. Below I had to paste it in
manually (which isn't that easy with a console mailer).

Additional comments:

Hello, Matt Sergeant! Thanks for uploading your works to CPAN.

Would it be too much to ask for a simple test script in the next
release, so people can verify which platforms can successfully
install them, as well as avoid regression bugs?

A simple 't/use.t' that says:

#!/usr/bin/env perl -w
use strict;
use Test;
BEGIN { plan tests => 1 }

use Your::Module::Here; ok(1);
exit;
__END__

would be appreciated.  If you are interested in making a more robust
test suite, please see the Test::Simple, Test::More and Test::Tutorial
manpages at <http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Test-Simple>.

Thanks! :-)
