Hello Everyone, It appears there are several distributions on CPAN whose tests don't pass when using several cores. This is an annoyance because some of the larger deplists nearly always have a module with broken tests in them, so testing can't just be a fire-and-forget operation, it also confuses some of the less experient developers that have HARNESS_OPTIONS set in .bashrc. I'm wondering if there has been any discussion directed to addressing this issue, I've done some research and couldn't find anything in that regard. What I'm thinking is that maybe the cpan tester service can do an extra multi-process run on each distribution, and store the test status along with the other metadata and somehow hand that information to Test::Harness so it can automatically run in single-process mode when it finds a test suite that doesn't pass in multi-process mode. Anyway, I'd just like to get the discussion started, and I'd be willing to put in some tuits towards implementing a solution if necessary.
