Subject: Lack of prereqs reported as failure
If you look at this CPAN test report: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/241565 you'll see: [MSG] [Fri Sep 9 09:06:09 2005] Warning: prerequisite Scalar::Util 1.16 not found. We have 1.14. Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for Math::Random::MT::Auto [MSG] [Fri Sep 9 09:06:10 2005] Module 'Math::Random::MT::Auto' requires 'Scalar::Util' version '1.16' to be installed [ERROR] [Fri Sep 9 09:06:47 2005] MAKE failed: No such file or directory The failure can be ignored for the moment as it was caused by a problem on the tester's machine. The bug is that even with the prereqs not met, the test continued. If the issue involves a configuration option on the tester's machine (i.e., CPANPLUS not automatically installing prereqs), then YACSmoke should not continue a test if a prereq is not loaded.

This is a known CPANPLUS bug, where it doesn't use the correct version. It should download the latest version, but occasionally it doesn't. CPAN::YACSmoke doesn't know if a prerequisite is loaded or not, it leaves all that to CPANPLUS.
