I've only created two modules CPAN. Both times, I've tested it locally, and uploaded the xxx-001.tar.gz to CPAN via PAUSE, only to discover that it doesn't work on some old perl version, actually requires some module I have installed locally and/or fails on some other platform than the one I've developed it on.

What I'd like is to be able to submit my candidate xxx-001.tar.gz to cpantesters, have it tested, and based on the result, post my now quite well-tested xxx-001.tar.gz on CPAN.

Is that possible? I've checked CPAN Authors FAQ and other CPAN Testers pages but haven't been able to find an upload button anywhere...

It seems counterproductive, also for CPAN, that everybody has to suffer through my initial embarrassing public mistakes....
