"Seems reasonable to me" is EXACTLY my frustration. That is YOUR standard that YOU are specifying. How about if I start sending email to everyone, whether they want it or not, if their code doesn't run under -T checking? It seems reasonable to me that it should. > those of us interested in quality hope you'll tell your users about a > Perl version dependency, but no one is demanding anything. And you will spam me if I don't provide that dependency. This is beyond me and my frustration about getting worthless emails. It is about the presumption of telling CPAN authors what they can upload. No, we're not preventing people from uploading anything, but we're punishing them for not bending to the whims of the CPAN Testers ideals. xoa -- Andy Lester => [EMAIL PROTECTED] => www.petdance.com => AIM:petdance
