in reply to cpanplus - Test::Reporter could not resolve ....

cpan can send test reports also; but I have yet to send a report successfully. Perhaps it does not authenticate with the mailserver of my provider ...

Anyhow, there seems to be a possibility to send the test reports through HTTP, but it is largely undocumented and nowhere I could find the URL to link to and deliver the report. A real pity, as I think we would see a lot more testers if there was a real simple way of delivering the reports.

    The HTTP gateway code is proof of concept still. People would have to run their own server to receive reports and send on via SMTP. There have been discussions of getting someone to volunteer a server and maintenance to run a public gateway.

    In the meantime, work creeps forward in support of "CPAN Testers 2.0" which will be entirely HTTP based. It's one of the projects planned for the QA Hackathon this March. We hope we can get it released before Christmas. ;-)

      Nice, it will be published together with Perl 6 then! ;-)
