I put out PPIx::Shorthand recently. As part of doing this, I wanted to see how far I could get with a Build.PL, no Makefile.PL, but a "dynamic_config: 0" in META.yml.
I got the expected failures, but some of them have some weird problems. An example failure report that exhibits both issues: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/03/msg1239470.html This report was done using perl 5.8.8, but there are similar problems with other versions. 1) 'Unknown command paragraph "=encoding utf8"' Huh? "encoding utf8" has been around since 5.8.1, as far as I understand. 2) 'MAKE TEST failed: Illegal seek' I have no idea where this comes from. Any ideas?
