Whoops. Answered too quickly and should clarify: * "exit 0" if you don't want a report to be sent * die with the phrase "OS unsupported" if you want an NA report to be sent The latter case is supposed to be for perl-version/architecture unsupported only -- not for missing libraries or tools. "exit 0" is what you should use in the case you describe. All these answers and more are available at the CPAN Testers Wiki: http://cpantest.grango.org/wiki/CPANAuthorNotes David
