but I'm using CPAN::Reporter, so I know you've got some feedback from
that :-) FWIW, I err on the side of assuming everything's OK instead of
sending failure reports.
I consider a positive result to be when there's a problem with a
distribution and I send a FAIL report. My false positive rate is *very*
low. Probably so low as to be no reliably measurable. My false
negative rate (ie a PASS or UNKNOWN or no report sent when there's a
failure) is probably not that great, but I'm sure it would at least be
measurable - perhaps of the order of 5% or so.
