2012.07.10 in #51Dear Perl users on Windows...
If you are using Perl on Windows and have been complaining that some of the CPAN modules don't install or don't work, this is for you. LeoNerd complains that he hardly gets test reports from Windows users. We have this beautiful system called CPAN Testers, generating and collecting millions of reports about CPAN modules on all kinds of operating system, but hardly from Windows. So, if you are using Windows for Perl development, please consider setting up a smoke machine, or at least configuring your CPAN client to send out the reports *when* you install a module.
