Sorry to not reply more quickly to your mail. Thanks to take time for the perl smoke database ....It took some time as the daytime job drained my energy :-(
but:
- I've made three days after my request to you the program I want.
- When I see your mail, I take times to look at them, but I've some problem with it:
1/ Always man pages is display without I comment call of it
(you forgot a short syntax for man pages)
2/ Files created only created path of files (why???).
Don't take times to correct this, I will use my script with your documentation: (I learning your help syntax to grow my documentation).
I think to share a CPAN module (something like Test-Smoke-Database) that containt all needed script to maintain a smoke db, and put it on CPAN. Then just a mirror page must be maintain on qa.perl.org.
For this, I think to the FAQ section that miss today for alianwebserver db. This can take as POD documentation of the module. Can you correct this for a more correct english ?
One more times, sorry to answer too late for your contribution (think to my 2 monster tweens Marine & Perle that eat all my energy :-), and thanks for your work.
PS: Test::Smoke VERSION 1.16 works fine without update for win32/mingw, as you can see on my report to Hugo. Now I will take time for Borland and VC++.

perl development branche before the smoke tests start.
