CPAN Testers,
Is there a way to get my module excluded from being tested? I know that
sounds like it is counter intuitive, but the problem is that most of the
tests fail for reasons that I can't fix.
I received a test report the other day that Net::CUPS failed because the
system had a full hard drive.
I get reports like the one below all the time. How do you expect
Net::CUPS to work if you don't have CUPS installed?
Rarely do I get a bug report were the report is legitimate. Here are
the most common reasons for test failure:
a) You don't have the cups headers installed
b) You don't have a new enough version of cups installed.
c) You don't have cups running on the system you are installing it on.
d) You are running the tests as a user that doesn't have the ability to
add/remove/modify destinations in cups.
Right now on CPAN it shows that my module has failed to work on 18
systems and it worked on none. *sigh*
Thank you for your time!

Dear D. Hageman,
This is a computer-generated report for Net-CUPS-0.57
on perl 5.10.0, created by CPAN-Reporter-1.1601.
Thank you for uploading your work to CPAN. However, there was a problem
testing your distribution.
If you think this report is invalid, please consult the CPAN Testers Wiki
for suggestions on how to avoid getting FAIL reports for missing library
or binary dependencies, unsupported operating systems, and so on:
