Is there a way to indicate from the test suite of a distribution that a CPAN tester machine lacks some software to test and use the distribution and that therefore no failure report should be sent?
I know that I can "exit 0" from Makefile.PL to get that result, but for the distribution at hand, Gtk3, it would be much more convenient if I could give the "unsupported system" signal from the test suite. Instead of having to manually check for the presence and usability of the correct library and typelib, I could then just let the underlying infrastructure do its thing. In <https://metacpan.org/source/XAOC/Gtk3-0.017/t/00-init.t>, I currently attempt this with the following code: BEGIN { require Gtk3; } my $success = eval { Gtk3->import; 1 }; BAIL_OUT ("Cannot load Gtk3: $@") unless $success; But that results in lots of failure reports like this one: <http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/73cec7ae-38c4-11e4-984c-c33e65711713>.
