Of course CPAN Testers doesn't claim to check whether a module installs, only whether it passes tests. It doesn't even tell you whether there are good tests. It could be t/pass.t with a single pass("fooled you") test and it would still get a PASS grade on CPAN Testers. Automated testing doesn't remove to need for real people to find bugs and report them. -- David
