I don't think this approach will work well for Perl/CPAN. It's not practical for the average CPAN contributer to test on all perl platforms, perl versions and possible prequisite module versions before distribution.

Stick a module on CPAN and you get a distributed testing farm for free, with CPAN Testers thrown in as a bonus.

It's one of the hidden benefits of CPAN and one of the reasons Perl modules end up being so robust (IMHO :-)
