OK, I give up. How to I communicate to the CPAN testing framework that the test machine is missing a required/vital external binary and should just NA this test? I've replicated the way that the code itself searches for the binary (svnlook if you care) in my Build.PL, and I'm using 'exit 0', which is what is supposed to make CPAN itself happy to stop. But the damn CPAN Testing framework is trying to grovel around inside the [now ungenerated] _cpan/prereqs file:

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/03/msg1108978.html

Do I die instead?  ARRRRGGGGGGG!

TIA

John
