Except that I don't want to have to rely on having a CPAN mirror locally, using something like CPAN::Site. I may have a CPAN::Site at my site eventually, but not right now. I'd appreciate a smoking framework that doesn't rely on a local CPAN mirror. I guess I could build it myself, but perhaps a layer of abstraction in CPAN::Smoke would be useful. srl -- Shane Landrum (srl AT boston DOT com) Software Engineer, boston.com

It looks like I'm going to be putting it into use here as well for testing our Mason component architecture. x86 platform, web-based testing. Should be interesting. Unfortunately, I don't think I can get it installed as an alpha. I'll try to experiment on my own, though. R.

Ok. 2 things: I want T::H::Straps to be able to tell me whether there were warnings during my test run, and if so, what they were. Working modules don't generally warn. Perhaps that should be switchable. Also, I assume that T::H::S wants to be pointed at a module directory, where it can "perl Makefile.PL && make && make test"--- so that I can rebuild my embedded tests and get test results programmatically. That doesn't seem to be how it works; I'm doing a lot of that at user level instead. Seems somewhat clunky. Also, total_results doesn't yet work, and I want it to--- related to the last paragraph. That's what I assume total_results will give me when it's implemented. srl -- Shane Landrum (srl AT boston DOT com) Software Engineer, boston.com

The interface needs to be gelled a bit. Half of it is unimplemented. I also need to merge some fixes from the mainline into 2.00. I'll see if I can kick out 2.00_02 today. -- Michael G.
