Subject: Many unknowns due to PREREQ_FATAL
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Test-HTTP-0.16 The cpantesters matrix is full with unknowns because the Makefile.PL contains the fatal PREREQ_FATAL=>1 line. PREREQ_FATAL has only a very limited use and should not be used elsewhere. What is worse than the Unknowns is that dependencies of T:H do not get tested at all when the PREREQ_FATAL hits. I just wrote a ditroprefs file that works around the issue: https://github.com/andk/cpanpm/blob/master/distroprefs/LUKEC.Test-HTTP.yml It would be nice to see a release that removes the line. Thanks && Regards,
