Thank you for your e-mail and your concerns.
Test::Class is a requirement of the CHI::Driver framework, it is outside
of my control. Please direct your bug report to CHI's author.
Furthermore looking at
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Test-Class+0.37 I cannot see why you
are concerned. Test::Class does fail on Windows, it is true, but
compared to many modules it is very portable. There are many more
modules on CPAN which are less portable, so I disagree with your
statement that Test::Class has a "high test failure rate", a ratio of
32:768 is not high compared with many others.
Finally Test::Class only fails on platforms which CHI::Drvier::SharedMem
will not work on anyway, such as Microsoft Windows. Therefore T:C's
failure on Windows is not relevant and I don't understand therefore why
you said that a lot of people that would like to use C:D:S would be
prevented from using it because of T:C, since they are actually
prevented from using it because C:D:S doesn't support Windows (and vice
versa) not because T::C doesn't work on Windows.
