While I applaud the effort to automate testing of new releases posted to CPAN, this is adding absolutely no vlaue in this case.
I am not looking forward to getting one of these for every platform someone decided to test this on. This particular module can NOT be tested automatically, without some manual configuration. The tests can not automatically determine the configuration of your AFs infrastructure; you have to tell me. Therefore, everytime I post this module, these tests are going to fail. The same is going to be true for DBD::Sybase, or any of the RDBMS modules which need to be configured with a data server, and/or database name. Is there a mechanism for telling the automated CPAN testing to skip this module? I do NOT want to hack the code to make the test skipped by default, because then unsuspecting administrators who install the module without reading my documentation will be give a false positive. I would prefer to have the tests fail by default, but I don't want all these emails telling me something I already know. >>> This distribution has been tested as part of the cpan-testers >>> effort to test as many new uploads to CPAN as possible.
