Now I've got bleed downloaded, built and tested, I looked around the distribution for *smoke*, but there's nothing like that. So I googled for perl smoke test and I find lots of references to modules Test::Smoke and CPAN::Smoke etc. but when I look at those modules their synopsis suggest that I'm gonna have to read and understand these modules and then write scripts? And that means that I'm going to have to install this version of perl in preference to my current "production" version so that I can install the module(s)? I also see references to shell scripts and suggestions for adding this to my crontab, whatever that is.

Hmm. Like I said elsewhere, if there was a clear set of instructions and it didn't mean screwing up everything else on my system, I'd really like do stuff to help...but this?

Someone out there knows exactly how to do this, does it regularly perhaps. Does it need to be this hard?
