No -- because testing the distribution might pull in prerequisites, which are likewise tested and reported. If the distribution itself doesn't have a report sent (e.g. some prerequisite was missing) then it won't have an entry in the history. This may actually be the stumbling block for CPAN/CPAN::Reporter compatibility. Reporting is either on or off, it's not set per distribution. You'd have to manually manage the dependency chain instead of letting CPAN do it to avoid "recursive reporting". Right now the history doesn't include "discarded" reports. David
