The only bit that worries me is now in order to run a core test by
hand you have to do:
PERL_CORE=1 ./perl -Ilib lib/Some/Module.t

Devel::Coverage is fundamentally broken and Devel::Cover is gagging on the core test suite. I'll see what I can do about getting Devel::Cover working. -- Michael G.

Said beast lives as CPAN::Test http://magnonel.guild.net/~schwern/src/CPAN-Test-0.12.tar.gz The critical modules are all done. CPAN::Test CPAN::Test::Author CPAN::Test::Mistake CPAN::Test::Module CPAN::Test::Reporter is a patched up version of Skud's module used to send reports back to cpan-testers. The format is currently wrong. Two important bits are missing: 1) It currently doesn't save anything. Each test, module and set of mistakes should be dumped into some sort of simple database so the information is hung onto across multiple runs. If nothing else, it will prevent the need to constantly retest modules. 2) The scripts to do the actual testing are incomplete bin/cpan_smoke_module.plx is the only one that "works", however it's currently got stuff in it specific to my machine. It also does some cavalier rm -rf's. > Have I just volunteered to write such a beast? No, but you may have volunteered to finish it. Or at least kick me to finish it. -- Michael G.

It does rely on knowing that Net::* use IO::Socket and fiends^Wfriends, but that's ok.

It should have been changed to the number of tests actually written before creating the patch. Think of it as a typo with long lag time. -- c
