sure why you would have the need for an implements() or does()
function. Either the interface is complete (e.g. Bar "is a" Foo), or it
isn't, then Bar isn't a Foo. In the latter case you can only check if
certain methods are there, and we already have can() for that.

You upload a snapshot to the server, it notifies the clients, they
download the package, run the tests and report the result back. Reports
are viewed on the server.
Is there any interest in such a package?

Moin,
I updated the graph-perl-usage package, to be found on my site or CPAN:
http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/usage/
http://search.cpan.org/~tels/
(0.07 is the latest version, please use together with 0.30 of Graph::Easy)
I incorporated one
) "$1" >>META.yml/gm;
$dump =~ s/>>META\.yml/>META.yml/;
return "metafile:\n$dump";
}
Needless code duplication, I know, but currently this is easier than to
try to fix MM myself...
Best wishes,

dependency on yet-another-test-module. (If the
pod tests pass on my dev system, they are very likely to pass at the
users system, too. So no point in running the tests there always)

Hm, this one f.i.:

doesn't show the remedy!?

Especially because search.cpan.org f.i. looks for the CHANGES/CHANGELOG
file and displays a link to it

Shhh, dont tell anybody about my plan to hack the cpants webserver and
silently raising my K rating to "+inf" :)

btw, here is an idea that occured to me:
There is a reason that not every little function in Test::More is it's own
module on CPAN: it makes it much easier to maintain and use them.
So maybe

I am all for putting often used stuff into extra modules, but I think this
has gone way to far, especially the user will go through all this just so
that Random-Module-0.01 can run it's freaky test suite

If I were to run CPANTS, I would drop that module like a hot potato at a
summer campfire.
Oh, and reduce everyone's K rating involved in the little prank by one :)

ings about my
modules, and will help me improve them. I also got the idea that it could
be usefull for Phalanx - start with modules with very low K ratings (and
probably with the ones used by a lot of other modules) and improve them.
Best wishes,

se, it is
up to me (Joe Author) to weed out virtual from real problems.
(Given the low test-coverage most modules have, I'd say most people will
ignore CPANTS, too).
It is a tool, you are free to not use it. :)
