(kudra: happens a lot) Re: (OT) A little something to laugh about from the CPAN test mailing list...

Although I can't speak for autrijus, I'm betting this response is somewhat automated. There are so many modules which don't have a proper prereq list that reporting them is done on autopilot.

(As an idea of how common this is, I encountered this with both DBD::Pg and DBI. In the case of DBI, it was actually just some debugging which wasn't removed and was missed due to the module being core in more recent perls. Both should/will be corrected.)

No bets. ;-) It is completely automated. Thats part of CPANPLUS. That was partly why I posted it. I just thought it was amusing that it nailed TheDamian (afaik one of the most prolific CPAN posters there is.) And I have no doubt one day it'll trip me up too.
