Subject: test.pl
Can you move tests to t/ (and possibly convert tests to Test::Simple/Test::More)? test.pl tests are not reported properly by CPANPLUS (there is no standard for test.pl) and require correct exit status, which your test.pl does not provide. In addition, CPAN testers results may be incorrect because of this. I can help you in updating distribution. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

Actually, the tests would be problematic if simply declared to be automated tests. The primary result of such an action would be a huge number of false-positive test failures due to things like permissions and locale issues. But, yes, automated tests should be created, probably at least partly by copying at least some of the tests from test.pl. Tye
