Hello module authors,
I have a story and 3 questions.

Last February I submitted a module to CPAN. Version 0.54 got 16 PASSes,
4 FAILS, and 128 UNKNOWNs. The UNKNOWNs were for 2 reasons:

Bruce Gray's reply indicates that your routine, that constructs the
array that you were comparing to the "gold" one, was populating the
array by using each(%hash). Since the order in which entries are
returned is not consistent, you can't use a "known correct"
comparison.

Hi,
I'm working on my first CPAN module that uses Module::Build.
It has an XS component. I can't find an exact correspondent
to the OPTIMIZE parameter with ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I can
add the optimization I want to the extra_compiler_flags parameter,
but the optimization from the Perl build is

future. Restating my Qs with As:

Recently I submitted IP::World, my first module using M::B.
I think that the standard install process does not syntax check
Perl scripts in a scripts folder. Is that right?
So I would like to add some tests to one of my test files,
involving something like `perl -c scripts/my_script`, and

Thanks Jonathan,
Test::Script would have filled the bill nicely if it
didn't have so many dependencies. I have aborted
installations for having than many!
So I ended up with the following, which works fine in my
test program:

my $tail = $build->is_unixish(
Hi module-authors,
Is there a way to exclude files from the 'diff' tool on one's
module's CPAN page?
I like to use this tool to confirm what I've changed from one
distribution to the next.
My latest one added two big data files, and 'diff' says its results
are too big to show.
Also the da

Assuming you have access to the code and would like
to do an obscure good thing in your spare time :-),
you could throw in a filter for what gets diffed,
based on the -T file test.
The code is written in perl, right?

Hi module authors,
I'm working on a module that has an accompanying script that can
be scheduled (cron'ed on Unix/Linux) to update its database from
the internet. The biggest problem with this, that is not covered by

Hi module authors,
The author of HTTP::ProxyPAC has graciously made me a co-maintainer.
What I want to do is to allow the module to be based on either of 2

Hi CPAN authors,
I'm planning two new CPAN modules if you folks agree they're OK
things to do.
Someone got excited when I mentioned and posted some WPAD code here a
week or two ago, so it may be worthwhile to post it as a module. The
second name should probably be WPAD, but what category
I added LWP::UserAgent to a test, and thought I had it covered
by adding LWP to Makefile.PL like this:
'BUILD_REQUIRES' => {'LWP' => 5.834,
'Test::More'=> 0},
One of many smoke-test systems has a problem with this.

Jonathan, David, Aristotle:
With such smart and helpful people as you, all problems can be solved.
Looking at the test report, EU::MM was only 6.42, which is before
it could process BUILD_REQUIRES, which makes David correct in his
diagnosis. So I'll put CONFIG_REQUIRES => {EU:MM => 6.56} into

My CPAN module takes an IP4 address as its operand, and checks
its operand as follows:
1) if the scalar is 4 bytes long, it's taken as a packed 32-bit
binary value,
2) otherwise it is syntax checked as a "dotted quad", as in '1.2.3.4'.
An operand that fails these tests results in a return valu
The subject module IP::World has been up on CPAN for some time.
I'm asking two questions relating to a weird test problem, not about
