Your META.yml says your module needs "Foo::Bar 1.23". Someone doesn't have Foo::Bar installed. Your tests fail. Did they fail because Foo::Bar was missing? Or because one or more tests failed. I could try to parse for missing module messages, but what if you squelched that in an eval and printed a more user-friendly missing module message to the console that didn't parse. All I know conclusively is that your tests failed and that what you specified as prerequisites were not satisfied. Everything else is conjecture or heuristics, neither of which I particularly want to maintain over time. David David
