    Cheap... if you're not a tester.

    What?

      Did you hear about the Tester's issues?

      All I'm saying is that one who knows better should either advise alternate avenues to do their testing before they send up a new version, or otherwise man up and Contribute to CPAN Testers.

        Um, what a weird thing to say, cpantesters is a volunteer organization

        Did you hear about the Tester's issues?

        Not me - is there a resource shortage?

        No doubt about it - I'd hope though that there is some leeway for new CPAN authors trying to figure things out. I'm not saying that CPAN should be a place to experiment, but sometimes its difficult to learn without actually trying. I try to test things out thoroughly on my box and on a Windows VM but I'm learning that there are seemingly a hundred different ways to trip up during the packaging. I'm trying to set up Travis CI as suggested on the github repo but that doesn't currently test on Windows (that I know of).
