Well, the mails always say 'This is an error report generated automatically by CPANPLUS' near the top of the mail, but I guess it's too nonobvious to the untrained eye... I just submitted @89 which adds the $VERSION to that line, as well as a boiler plate at the bottom of mail: ******************************** NOTE ******************************** The comments above are created mechanically, possibly without manual checking by the sender. Also, because many people performs automatic tests on CPAN, chances are that you will receive identical messages about the same problem. If you believe that the message is mistaken, please reply to the first one with correction and/or additional informations, and do not take it personally. We appreciate your patience. :) ********************************************************************** That should make everybody happy. :-) Fellow cpan-testers may consider applying this patch manually before 0.04, so that we could get less flamed. Sorry for the inconviences. Thanks, /Autrijus/ Change 89 by autrijus@autrijus on 2002/08/14 23:01:50 * clarify the mechanical nature of the 'too good' prose.
