Between my original post and seeing this I found CPAN::Reporter which
seems to do the job nicely.
It didn't want to install on 5.6.2 (unless anyone screams and tells me
it's a stupid idea, I think that telling authors when their modules don't
work on older perls is a Very Good Thing) because of a long dependency
chain down to some utf8 wossnames. The fix was to manually install an
old 5.6-friendly version of libnet, whose Net::SMTP doesn't need the
funny characters. Then Test::Reporter and CPAN::Reporter install
nicely.
