Well, I'm definitely never going to do that. What's the point in tests if no one runs them? Things break after the release because of exactly things like this. I would much rather have tests fail so that routine CPAN tests notice that my module is broken than install broken documentation with warning sections. > Basically every tool that does CPAN installs will refuse to install if > the test suite fails, and this isn't going to be viewed as buggy or > changed. Do they at least tell people how to install the module anyway if the test failure doesn't look serious? -- Russ Allbery (r...@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
