This is the new "metabase-friendly" version. It shouldn't really change things for existing users, but first-time users should find configuration more intuitive.
If people would like to give it a try pretending to be a new user on a fresh Perl, please give it a shot and let me know what you think. If it works well, the wiki should get updated to match the new configuration approach. Important Note -- Task::CPAN::Reporter is now the recommended way to install CPAN::Reporter and the full Metabase/LWP/https dependency set. Installing plain CPAN::Reporter is for custom setups with Socket or File transport. -- David
