in thread CPAN newbie troubles

So why are you getting FAIL reports? Well, you're not. You're getting N/A reports.

Ah. That *is* useful - because I never received that particular email; the last one I got was still a FAIL rather than an NA (which is what I would have expected.) This does indeed handle my question (although now I need to go find out where that email went.) Thanks for doing the research; I hadn't realized that the info was available on the Web. That'll make troubleshooting this kind of problems a bit easier in the future.

    Could it be that N/A reports aren't mailed? After all, you already know the OS isn't supported, so why would you want to be told?

        Please explain. Did you receive some N/A emails for your distro? Did you meant to post a link that actually discusses this?
