Ignore it?

Yes, I do try to ignore false FAILs - but sometimes they get the better of me.

The number of these FAILs is now 4 (all from the same tester).
If he decides to test 20 different perl configurations then I'll end up with 20 FAILs - which is even harder to ignore.

If there's no suitable workaround that I can implement to circumvent these particular FAILs, then that makes them even more insidious.
The tester in this particular case is Peter Acklam. He has been responsive in the past, so I've notified him of the problem.

I also get other occasional false FAILS as a result of a different issue affecting only App::cpanminus::reporter, as far as I know.
For example see:
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/78ab4860-c608-11e5-9eb0-875dfcf88752
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/7955d258-c608-11e5-9eb0-875dfcf88752
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/7a4a4ad6-c608-11e5-9eb0-875dfcf88752
All of those fail to compile, and should therefore report UNKNOWN. But they come back as FAIL.
Annoying as those ones are I at least can provide a workaround for them if I think it's worth the effort .... and worth the risk of getting the workaround wrong :-(

Cheers,
Rob
