So I have a URL in a module, which *must* be POSTed for it to do
whatever it needs to do because it's not intended to be impotent. I
arrange matters so that GETting it is forbidden, because GETting it is
meaningless. Your GET test then correctly fails, and would be
incorrectly recorded as a failure. That will really give me confidence
in the quality of CPANTS.
