Subject: display of installed/required in report is confusing
I received this report: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/04/msg458181.html It says Here is a list of prerequisites you specified and versions we managed to load: Email::Simple 1.999 1.998 IO::String 1.08 0 ...but I asked for 1.998 and 1.999 was installed. It is confusing that you say "specified and ... load" but display loaded, then specified. Good fix: reverse the order of the columns. Better fix: add column headers, too. -- rjbs

I've added the column headers as per your (good!) suggestion. It now looks something like: Module Name Have Want Cwd 1.2 1.3 Thanks for reporting, Jos
