That sucks. :-( If imacat's box has gone AWOL, is there anything
cpan testers can do to flag it as such? At least until his/her attention is
grabbed and the problem is addressed?

Thanks,

 Take a look at this output:

 It looks like this particular system is not noticing that Test::Exception
 requires Sub::Uplevel, then gets confused thinking it was *my* module that
 needed Sub::Uplevel. What's even more concerning is the presence of line
 noise right after the make test FAILED... Any idea what can be going on
 here?

 Thanks,

 I'll look into it and return ASAP.  It's Chinese New Year here, so
 give me a break and allow some delay, OK?  You could write to me again
 if I do not return for some certain period.

I wouldn't have suggested that unless fergal had indicated that it
was a long-standing issue. Now that I know you're aware of the problem and
looking into it, I thank you and will patiently await your reply. :)

Happy year of the dog!

CPANPLUS sent the report to your module because its tests failed, 
because it uses Test::Exception which uses Sub::Uplevel which wasn't 
available during the test phase. The reason why Sub::Uplevel is missing 
may come from a problem in IMACAT's box, or maybe not. Details are 
missing because of the still present interaction problem between 
CPANPLUS and Module::Build. What you call line noise is most probably 
File not found in Chinese or Taiwanese.


The best thing is to ask IMACAT to send you a more detailed report.

It's a NLS error message. In Big 5, it says. 'This file or
directory does not exist.'

Ahh, in my firefox it looked like a bunch of copyright symbols and
squiggly lines. Guess I've got a few fonts to install. :)

The weird thing is, on most chinese language webpages, I get little
squares with the 2-byte hex code for the appropriate character written
inside...
