I am personally quite satisfied with the CPAN Testers though I do think that there is too much noise (false FAIL reports) which mean the average CPAN user who is not familiar with the situation will be misled.
AFAIK Barbie and co are working on a better schema for the database that soon will improve the displayed information a lot. So I'll wait for now.

As I understood it will be fixed soon so I shut my keyboard now. http://www.cpantesters.org/show/Wx-Perl-Dialog.html http://www.cpantesters.org/show/Padre.html On the other hand I don't understand why was this sent: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/08/msg2102300.html It is trying to test a module on 5.6.2 while the module declares both in META.yml and in Build.PL that it needs 5.8 Gabor
