I've finally gotten around to putting a module up on CPAN. I pulled down Test::Prereq in order to check that I had put all the requirements in my PREREQ_PM list. At first I got an odd failure from it, then I got an unhelpful response; this makes me think that I'm using it improperly. Can any more experienced monks steer me to a better FM than I have found thus far?

I had the following two problems:

  1. When I ran the command-line example that was given in the T::P module docs, I was told 'You tried to plan twice!' and it died. Aside from Test::Builder, none of the Test:: modules are included in my module, and I certainly do not call plan()
  2. That having failed, I took the script-based example from the T::P docs and put it in my t/001.t file. That ran, but all it tells me is "Found some missing prereqs". This seems unhelfpul...I rather expected a list.

The module in question is intended to help out with the testing of a CGI via comparing it to known-good output. It was built using the 'modulemaker' script included with ExtUtils::ModuleMaker and uses Module::Build as its build framework.
