/usr/bin/perl.exe Makefile.PL ~/perl50808
In http://groups.google.com/group/perl.cpan.testers/browse_thread/thread/2329d49c2c2362e7/3320dc4adb32fbac?lnk=gst&q=mw487+gunnar#3320dc4adb32fbac why is this command given using CPAN::Reporter (Smoking) 1.1556 (producing an error) /usr/bin/perl.exe Makefile.PL ~/perl50808 when /usr/bin/perl.exe Makefile.PL is called for in the README, and seems to complete fine? Also, /usr/bin/perl.exe Build.PL ~/perl50808 seems to be no trouble? Thanks.

Yeah, annoyingly CPANPLUS doesn't include any indication the test report why an NA is applicable. I have been meaning to get around to submitting a patch to Jos to enable the inclusion of the output buffer in NA reports if AUTOMATED_TESTING is set.

In which case I have misunderstood. I thought that "exit 0" from a
Makefile.PL would not generate an NA. So I've learnt something, thank you

A belt and braces approach. Since I "use version; our $VERSION =
qv(...)" ExtUtils::MakeMaker will fail to extract the version from the
module if version.pm is not already installed. Older testing platforms
apparently ignore the configure_requires attribute in the the META.yml
Where did you get that address from? Here
is the tool to convert from an
NNTP id to an email address.
I was assuming that chris is a PAUSE id and obtained the email address
from the authors page on CPAN. I tried typing chris and CHRIS into the
textfield on that page and clicking the SEARCH button, but I received a
completely blank page in response

Well, that would include *any* tester called chris, not just
[EMAIL PROTECTED] If we were to do that, it should at least be the whole
of the email address used for sending reports.

I know that you feel strongly about these NA reports, but my personal view is that while having them may be annoying if your goal is perfection from CPAN Testers, the reality is that it really means little in the long run. CPAN Testers reports are not a value judgment of any author -- they are merely facts about one tester's experience with respect to a distribution. (I.e, there's nothing to say that any non-passing grade isn't the fault of the tester and not the author.) Moreover, selectively disabling testers that submit reports you don't like isn't really in the spirit of the CPAN Testers project. I mean, what's the benefit of having people volunteer to spend their time and resources to test your code on a variety of platforms if you're only interested in seeing the ones that pass? I care a lot more about the ones that *don't* pass... those are the ones that actually help me improve my code. So, my advice would be to just let it go and not worry about it. Regards, David
Re: Proposal: set AUTOMATED_TESTING to tester's ID
I have these three NAs;
http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/1811561
http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/1811557
http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/1811555
which do not appear to offer an explanation. So I emailed Chris (the
tester) and received this bounce
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
host pkl.net [66.184.117.10]: 550 5.0.0 2003.08.29 SPAM - Mail
Abuse - Mailserver is blacklisted.
I think it is referring to my ISPs mail server (Demon Internet). So I'd
like to put
exit 0 if ($ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} =~ m{ \A chris \z }imx);
in the Makefile.PL for this module, but currently that wouldn't work.
Instead I have
exit 0 if ($ENV{PERL5LIB} =~ m{ home/cpan/perl58[123] }mx);
which is a blunt instrument in comparison.
What would you suggest?
