Why not just upload a dev release to the CPAN and let the CPAN-testers do it for you?
  1. Firstly, it isn't my module so I can't do that.

    I made changes to solve a particular requirement I had, namely sizing data structures close to the limits of my physical address space. They proved so successful that I thought it worth a little effort to try and make them generally available.

  2. Second, I need people, not automated test bots who's purpose in life is generate meaningless statistics.

    The code is XS/C, and the changes I made introduced some particularly difficult elements to port cross platform. Namely unions of pointers and bit-field structs.

    I'm a one-platform/one-compiler developer, and I knew I would need expert assistance to stand a chance of making this work on little-endian/big-endian 32/64-bit etc. Not just those with spare bandwidth and cpu to run automated smoke tests.

  3. I needed people happy to volunteer their time to work with me.
