Re^2: Perl 5.10 Release Candidate 1 is coming

Andeas König is single-handedly smoking as much of CPAN as he has CPUs to spare. Many troublesome modules have been identified over the past year, and the Phalanx 100 list helps too, and there is a group of hard-core CPAN smokers who test all new uploads with the latest blead.

But people with more exotic ~~hardware~~ platforms (thanks, parv) than just Linux or FreeBSD are more than welcome to set up their own smokes. The more, the better.

I'm just thinking - wouldn't it be worthwhile for TPF to go ahead and get a bunch of EC2 instances of various systems and have them smoking stuff? I'm pretty sure Amazon would be willing to discuss donating those resources as TPF is a non-profit under the IRS rules. Update: Added link to EC2 (Thanks, jdporter!) My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]

Emphasis is mine ... But people with more exotic hardware than just Linux or FreeBSD are more than welcome to set up their own smokes. Really? Then that is news to me (for I know of Linux and FreeBSD as being software).	[reply]
