Subject: Way too many non-core dependencies
Hi, CPAN::Reporter has way too many dependencies. Also, before any reports can be sent, Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase is required and that has even more dependencies, by an order of magnitude. I'm talking about setting up a fresh install of the perl interpreter and a clean, new lib/. All the time that these dependencies are installing, warnings are emitted from CPAN::Reporter. At the least, these should be suppressed. I suppose I could 'o conf' cpan and disable; but why? Anyway, no reports are going to be sent during installation of this module and its dependencies. Suggest cutting back on the deps. XIONG@cpan.org

You can avoid at least the Metabase dependencies by specifying "File" transport. This will write reports only to disk. These reports may be sent using another perl which has all Metabase dependencies installed. I can provide a script for this task and assistence, if you like. Regards, Slaven
