in reply to Re^3: Ridiculous "FAIL" reports from CPAN Testers
in thread Ridiculous "FAIL" reports from CPAN Testers
On the cpan-testers-discuss list, I suggested something along the lines of:
die "Required library not installed: libfoo\n";
This is specific and informative and easily parsed in the Makefile.PL output. The resulting report would be discarded rather than sent to CPAN Testers -- just like reports with missing Perl module prerequisites.
Once a consensus emerges on cpan-testers-discuss on the right approach, I'll add it to CPAN::Reporter.
