Thank you for working on this. :)
Further notes on the content of the report:
I'm happy to announce that that Christian Walde (Mithaldu) has agreed to
manage the second half of the grant in Florian's stead, and I look
forward to working with him.
Glad to be able to help you with this. :)
Then I looked into a couple of cpantesters reports which showed a problem
on Windows. I couldn't repeat the failures, and it seemed that only one
tester had the problem, on version 0.98. Version 0.99 seems not to have
shown any failures, so I'll chalk that up to cosmic rays or something.
I can explain this one.
Older Perls have an odd bug that causes $ENV{PERL5LIB} of over 65k chars
to be completely ignored on Windows 7, resulting in a near-empty @INC.
This happens in his case as he's running an automated smoker which does
not actually install dists, but only saves them to cpan/build and adds
them to PERL5LIB. On windows below 7 this does not happen, as the 65k
limit is correct there and the process won't even start before reaching
the perl interpreter code. On higher Perls the limit is observed properly.
So, if you get spurious errors, check their PERL5LIB:

If it's massive, ask the smoker to upgrade to Perl5 16.0 or newer. :)

David Cantrell added JavaScript to filter results in html_basic and sent
me a pull request.
This is pretty cool, is there a reason that wasn't also added to the
default html output?
