I understand that when a prerequisite for a module isn't installed, or
is a version that is too early that
CPAN::Reporter shouldn't report it. That is reasonable, it stops false
positives.
But look at this which happens when you try to test/install RWDE
('install RWDE'):
...
CPAN::Reporter: test results were not valid, Prerequisite version too low:
requires:
Module Need Have
---------------------- ---- -------
...
! DBD::Pg 2.6 2.17.1
...
Now there are two issues with this. Firstly the prerequisite version
isn't too low, it's too high, so the
message given by CPAN::Reporter is wrong.
Secondly, I believe in this circumstance a report *should* be sent,
since it's more likely that the author would
like to know that his/her software doesn't install on current systems
and so is likely not to be usable by an
increasing number of users.
