As Gabor already suggested, most of the texts on cpants.perl.org should be overhauled and extendend. For example: http://cpants.perl.org/kwalitee.html#no_cpants_errors no_cpants_errors Shortcoming: Some errors occured during CPANTS testing. They might be caused by bugs in CPANTS or some strange features of this distribution. See 'cpants' in the dist error view for more info. Remedy: Please report the error(s) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'Shortcoming' should be extended to say: "The goal of deducting a kwalitee point for 'no_cpants_errors' is to get authors to report CPANTS bugs. As you might guess, testing 10.000+ different dists is hard. There are lot of special cases. It's impossible to figure out all those special cases in advance. 'no_cpants_errors' is a way to outsource the discovery of special cases to module authors." or something like that... -- #!/usr/bin/perl http://domm.plix.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}
