Maybe there should be more possible report values? FAIL and PASS can be kept for when the actual tests fail or pass but there should be also MAKE_FAIL fr when the make phase failes MAKEPL_FAIL fails when Makefile.PL exits with error code and I leave it open to the discussion what to do when Makefile.PL exits with 0 but there is no Makefile ?
