Hi Simon, Welcome to the list! it can get kinda quiet here - most of us are part of Nottingham Linux Users Group - we get a lot more chatty over there if it ever seems too quiet here! (while we're on the subject of quietness, I have a few questions that I'll ask in a new thread).

Regards, Michael. ----------------------------------------------------------- Hi, In my Perl courses people always ask me about the quality of the CPAN modules. One of the key things I am pointing at is CPAN Testers http://testers.cpan.org/ It's a great resource for both module authors and module users. The biggest problem with it was so far that relatively few people sent in reports, partially because CPANPLUS was required for that. Recently I started to use CPAN::Reporter http://search.cpan.org/dist/CPAN-Reporter/ that works with the regular CPAN.pm module. Once installed it will send success and failure report on each one of the modules you install. That is with an initial minor work - installing CPAN::Reporter - you will be sending test reports and help the effort of making CPAN a better place. You can watch the queue of the incoming test reports here: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/ and check that your test reports are showing up a few minutes after you sent them. If anyone needs help setting it up, just post a note here or here http://www.cpanforum.com/dist/CPAN-Reporter Gabor -- Absence makes the heart grow fonder -- of somebody else. ___________________________________________________________ NEW Yahoo!
