Cabie seems to be as good, if not better (psst, it's written in

There's also Michael's rather swizzy Smolder project.

Indeed. Smolder++. You still need something to manage a build farm
though. I got about 80% done on Test::SmokeStack (leaving only another
few 80%s to do). That was going to talk to Smolder.
Turns out that buildbot is almost exactly what SmokeStack was going to
be - so I'll probably divert my attention to buildbot and get that
talking to Smolder instead.
My Python Fu is weak but I spent a productive couple of hours hacking
about with buildbot last night. My aim is to make it easy to test all
the modules in my SVN against multiple Perl's on multiple machines and
have the config changes to add a new module be as minimal as possible.
I haven't quite got it right yet: all my modules are currently in a
single buildbot project which obviously isn't the intended way of
doing things judging by how bb's web UI has scaled to handle it (I
have a page about 20,000 pixels wide :)
Once I get it working a bit more satisfactorily I'll make the code
available somewhere.
