Nevermind -- I suspected some sort of CRLF issue and I think I've narrowed it down to a bug in PoCo::Client::NNTP. At least, a one line patch seems to have prevented my seeing any more issues so far. I'll post the patch to RT for Chris. -- David On Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 8:19 PM, David Golden <[EM

Badly formatted reports

2008-09-09 Thread David Golden
I'm parsing out recently sent reports from the NNTP server in preparation for my 'nagbot' and I'm seeing some reports with extraneous newlines in the header that prevents (easy/automatic) parsing as a proper message. Here are some examples (each prefixed with a "-=-=-=-=-=..." sequence. Any ideas

On this thread, Eric asked how to run a "scientific" style test. Here's an idea based on CPAN Testers tools -- though not necessarily CPAN Testers output. a) Configure CPAN::Reporter to use the Test::Reporter::Transport::File transport -- this will save reports into a directory b) Run CPAN::Repo

You already have all the good reasons! If someone needs more reasons than this, that person needs to switch to another language where they can pay $$ for support. What I 'd really like to see is the possibility to force a user to send feedback. My module is not free, it costs a report when it

why should I send test reports anyway?

2008-09-09 Thread Gabor Szabo
As I mentioned earlier I think one of the improvements CPAN Testers need is diversity. That is, to get more people to send in reports from various platforms. So I wonder besides the warm feeling of giving back to the community how else could we get more people to send reports? I am not talking abo
