Apologies if this is too out there, but since it happens to demonstrate some of the power of the rather cool CPANPLUS module, and it happens to feature one of our own, and its absolutely hilarious I thought that I just had to post it.

This distribution has been tested as part of the cpan-testers
effort to test as many new uploads to CPAN as possible.  See
http://testers.cpan.org/

Please cc any replies to cpan-testers@perl.org to keep other
test volunteers informed and to prevent any duplicate effort.

Additional comments:

Hello, Damian Conway! Thanks for uploading your works to CPAN.

I noticed that the test suite seem to fail without these modules:

Filter::Simple

As such, adding the prerequisite module(s) to 'PREREQ_PM' in your
Makefile.PL should solve this problem.  For example:

WriteMakefile(
    AUTHOR      => 'Damian Conway (damian@conway.org)',
    ... # other information
    PREREQ_PM   => {
    'Filter::Simple'    => '0', # or a minimum workable version
    }
);

If you are interested in making a more flexible Makefile.PL that can
probe for missing dependencies and install them, ExtUtils::AutoInstall
at <http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=ExtUtils-AutoInstall> may be
worth a look.

Thanks! :-)

Writing a good benchmark isnt as easy as it might look.
