Hi,
It wasn't a good week. John Anderson (genehack) is rather ill, and the passing of Brian McCauley. Unfortunately this is part of life. Make the best of it!
Please forgive me the cheesy turn: Who knows what happens to you tomorrow? Become a CPAN Author now!

If you have images of Brian McCauley, you can help his wife Sam, to create a montage at his memorial.

CPAN
|
by Neil Bowers (NEILB)
Measuring the impact of a failing test should not include only the relative number of failing reports, but should be weighted with the relative importance of the distribution, the number of other distributions depending on it.
