Hello!
For a long time I'm using Test::Reporter. Now I participate in Vanilla
Perl project (http://win32.perl.org). I've started CPAN smoke.
I've come to several ideas regarding cpantesters. I want your opinion on
them.
1. YAML files on http://cpantesters.perl.org/ should include compiler
info. Most important example: distinguish between ActiveState Perl and
Vanilla Perl. I have both. Special case would be using gcc to compile
modules for ActiveState (don't know how to check for it).
Maybe also include some identifier (like Perl included in OS or compiled).
I'd also like %ENV included in the result. A test in one of my modules
failed on your smoking machine because exists(&main::carp) was true
before it should have been. I'm wondering if you define something like
PERL5OPT=-MCarp=carp,confess,croak because that's what looks like
happened on http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/353056.
It's only a coincidence that you're the same person making the
suggestions for improvements to test report output and the owner of
the machine with the unusual environment. I'll be trying to find you
on irc to see what's up with your machine.
