The problem is that the interesting platforms that aren't getting tested are those for which you can't just spin up another VM. In particular I'm thinking of Solaris on Sparc, and Irix. Irix is an especially interesting platform, both for CPAN authors and p5p, because it doesn't so much have a compiler as a complier. Back when I was testing on it I found quite a few dodgy assumptions being made about data types. And one of these days I'll get round to buying another Irix machine.
