I was setting myself up last week as a first-timer with Test::Reporter and was thrown off the trail by that document as well. After significant fumbling around with google, I found http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/CT2BetaTestInstructions which has a "For new CPAN Testers" section which mentions using metabase-profile (from Metabase::Fact) to generate a profile if you don't already have one. Run that and it will put a profile into your current directory. Move the file to ~/.cpanreporter/jdoe.json and you should be good to go. So the information is out there, it's just not on the page which is being promoted as the official "how to get started" document. -- Dave Sherohman
