CPAN Testers reporting failures in every module they test and not stopping to ask "Hey, is it possible that not everything else in the world is broken?" is *not* an example of CPAN Testers working as expected. Environments where it's impossible even to *build* Perl modules are unsuitable for smoketest reporting, as they don't provide any useful information and they make true failures much more difficult to see and believe. Kudos to imacat for reporting the second bug though. -- c
