One then shouldn't burden them knowingly and unnecessarily. You do realize you are calling uploading a distro to CPAN a burden
To fix a mistake, you upload a new version
That is only way to fix a mistake
The volunteers will test this new version automatically There is no way to tell testers, you don't have to test this one, its was a stupid mistake of mine
The volunteers do what they chose to do, some test everything hourly, some daily, some test dev versions only, some test once a week
Its a burden they take on voluntarily
They're not stupid either, they won't let tests run for half an hour

Unless you were born yesterday, "volunteer" personal time is one thing, but in your house, would you volunteer your gas, electricity, time fixing equipment, time upgrading equipment for free for hundreds of thousands of requests per day?
It costs money. Real money. If you still don't get it, let me cook 256k turkeys in your oven, every single day, for free, while you maintain it all, while you don't have any time to do a day job that pays.
