Interesting, so I set up cpan as per http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/QuickStart, and did `test File::Repl`, (I actually ran this a couple of times to play around with it). Here's an extract of what happened, firstly, Win32::API is unsurprisingly unsupported under Linux :) cpan[1]> test File::Repl ...some stuff redacted...

The test suite won't drag in Win32::API (https://metacpan.org/source/DROBERTS/File-Repl-2.3/Repl.pm#L157). However, actually running an install for the module fails, as expected. So based purely on the bare minimum config as per the wiki linked above, it gets a 'pass'. Delving deeper into the cpantesters/smoking config is on my to do list. I've made minimal changes to the Makefile.PL to get it working. If you have time could you please test it on Windows and let me know if it works? I'll submit a patch.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

++ for thinking of cygwin as well; I missed that in mine. Your Makefile.PL worked for me in Windows (non-cygwin)... but that's because Strawberry came with File::HomeDir pre-installed. You might want to add that to the dependencies, too.	[reply]

Updated, thanks for the test and the extra set of eyes :) Sorry, I hadn't seen your fix. Unrelated, rt://108370 is interesting. issue raised.	[reply]

As far as I can tell, anything sent to cpan testers is generated by specially configuring cpan,cpanp or cpanm to do so. This happens when you then go and install a module using your tool of choice. People can also choose to smoke test modules, configuring cpan or cpanp to go ahead and just automatically download and test modules, reporting as it goes. http://wiki.cpantesters.org/ http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/QuickStart Update: So the reports for this look weird, if I get the time later I'll take a look later if I don't forget.
