So, some testers are > ignoring this informations in the MakeFile and producing error reports! It's not that the testers ignore it. they don't even look at it. Most of CPAN Testers is automated, so it just happens and the responsible person doesn't monitor it. Add to that various versions of CPANPLUS which have various bugs, and you get a lot of bad reports. It seems like an easy problem to fix: either make CPANPLUS work right or don't use it for automated testing. If you get a report that says there is a missing prerequisite, verify that it isn't in PREREQ_PM before you send the report. Still, no one has cared to do that. I haven't had anyone remove these bogus failures from the database either. -- brian d foy, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
