Maybe your database is incomplete because I know I've sent a few reports with 5.004_05 » http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/259982 » http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/281901 But I note that on the reports page, they incorrectly appear as "5.4.4". I am personally using the database fetched from http://cpantesters.perl.org/ In that databasee the test 281901 is listed as 5.4.4 So whatever creates the database from the mailing list might have a bug. Now I just would like to know who creates that database?

David Romano patched up Test-Simple to restore 5.4.5 compatibility. I'll see about releasing that as 0.66. That might make a whole lot more of CPAN happy on 5.4.x. PS I don't see 5.4.5 in your list.
