Hi Leo,
Any chance you could mention CPAN Testers to these companies?
CPAN Testers will go away at the end of this year unless we have some
sponsors soon. We did have a few companies approach us about sponsoring,
but all have now gone quiet :(
Thanks,
Barbie.

You're confusing the issue. Please do not bring CPAN Testers into this.

load the YAML file and the other uses YAML (or YAML::Syck). The former
was discussed as potentially a CORE module, and the latter is rather
heavy weight for some. Originally I was going to drop the latter, but
got asked to continue the YAML(::Syck)? versi

I have been rather busy with other things (see next post), and haven't

I can to begin with, it is far from complete. Please free to contribute

I think it would be possible for CPANPLUS to be patched to add these to
the list of prerequisites if in AUTOMATED_TESTING mode, so it should be
possible. I think PITA should be able to do something similar.

I will look into this further, but it'll be lower on my todo list, as it
will be driven by packagers rather than testers.

myself. If we going to improve
reporting it would help to have a wider discussion group. Whenever
Robert or I have posted here, it hasn't really reach the right audience.
I'm glad that the AUTOMATED_TESTING flag is getting picked up now, but
it would be nice to throw those ideas around more often, and getting
them refined quicker.
I'm looking forward to evaluating PITA, but it will likely have to be on
a Perl 5.8.7 Windows box, as my 5.6.1 box can't install any of the PITA
distributions on CPAN at the moment, due to the dependency issue ;)

you all to have a play with.

I wouldn't say silently, as I did announce it in my use.perl journal.
However, I wasn't convinced that many people would be interested in it,
so I didn't make a
ere an announced reason for this I missed or is something down?
Unfortunately Leon has been having problems with his server [1], which is where
the parsing of all the reports is done and the master testers.db resides. Until
it's back online there won't be any updates.

of POD headers too, but this is
a purely personal thing. Every author has their own interpretation of what
headings they should include. That's something else that could be considered a
kwalitee item, but shouldn't be.
Anything that productively improves the kwalitee of CPAN and the di
ed was when one of the 3 stages
failed, and the top level namespace matched a platform name that wasn't the
current platform. This was why a while ago there were some NA reports for
distributions in the 'MAC::' namespace. There was a case insensitive test that
thought it was in the 'Mac::' namespace.
Hope that clarifies a few points.
Cheers,
Barbie.

ort maybe unavailable, due to the fact that no-one has got around to testing
it, a simple search mechanism (platform/perl version) using your script could generate
the current info from the testers.db file.
I like the idea, and with the CPANTS work that Thomas is doing this could be very nice.

I was going to say that this sounds like a job for Andy's Phalanx team :)

s I tested recently with only
test.pl, and can't. Will have to keep and eye out for them and see whether
they do use Test::More. There are still quite a few just using test.pl, but
I think they are mostly, if not all, originally written when only Test.pm
was around.

LocalGroupGetMembers() and Win32::NetAdmin::GroupGetMembers()
functions if you wanted a separate Win32 test script, otherwise as soon as you start
calling Unixy admin programs your distribution will likely get labelled (wrongly)
under CPAN testing as 'NA' on other OSs.

Would this cope with Win32, MacOS or other OS specific modules?
