Re: <rant>CPAN modules failing to check for write errors</rant>

Can monks suggest anything that can be done to get CPAN modules reviewed and fixed for such problems? I'm prepared to review the odd module or two, but not when I know half the time I'll get ignored by the module author (I'm not suggesting this is the case with XML::Smart BTW, I took this at random as an example!)

You have several options, here are some:

Contact the author and ask to fix that.
Provide a patch to the author.
Fill a bug report on http://rt.cpan.org/.
Ignore the module.
Ignore the author.
