These are currently difficult as a matter of architecture, which is “every tester sends mail directly to every author.” The design overhaul will centralise the gathering and issuing of reports, so all of these things will become possible in the medium term. You are not the only one to ask for them, FWIW. > I want to select what kwalitee benchmarks I choose my code to > be verified under, so that I can proudly say "My modules meet > these criteria across these platforms."

It seems that you are confusing the CPAN Testers with the CPAN Testing Service (CPANTS), Domm’s pet project. The only relation between the two is their confusingly similar naming. CPANTS tries to lint-check your distribution and code without running any of it; the CPAN Testers download your releases, install any prereqs and then run your test suite. The goals and designs of the two projects as well as their participants are entirely different. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
