That's a good point. Right now, for compatibility with CPANPLUS, "test reporting" really means PL/make/test reporting with no distinction between phases. Or, to put it differently, CPAN Testers wants to capture any phase that breaks along the way to a successful test. I have not tweaked CPAN::Reporter config options to have different prompt options in the different phases. To some extent, I'm reluctant to make the options more complex than they have grown to be. Or at least, I'm reluctant to make the interactive options more complex. If I added the following advanced options and had them supersede "send_report" if they exist, would that be sufficient? * send_PL_report * send_make_report * send_test_report David
