use 5.008008; but get test results for 5.8.7
Hi, http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/adfb644c-8a08-11df-9a66-511e01ce9048 is a report for HTTP::LoadGen. The Makefile.PL in this distribution contains as the first line use 5.008008; So, why is a perl 5.8.7 trying to test a module that states to require at least 5.8.8? According to http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/CPANAuthorNotes specifying the required version as I did should be sufficient. What did I wrong? Torsten Förtsch -- Need professional modperl support?

So I am to expect NAs for perl versions less than required? Yes, it means that your module is not available on certain perl version/platform. This result is produced during Makefile.PL/Build.PL stage, so nothing is actually tested. -- Serguei Trouchelle

I found while iterating over the Alien::Judy distribution that an NA can often be a masked FAIL so fwiw, I think possibly reports for these shouldn't even be reported at all or as something even more Not Applicable than an NA report.
