Hi Karen, Graham has emailed me and said he'd since amended Acr. He's now patched the code on GitHub and sent Breno a pull request [1].
[1] https://github.com/garu/App-cpanminus-reporter/pull/10 Checking if the distribution exists on CPAN is reasonable, but you want to do it without downloading the file. Plus it wouldn't work if the server running the tests isn't able to access the internet directly, but uses something like metabase-relayd.
