Hi Alexandr, Thanks for your work on CPAN Testers. I know that Net::DNS::DynDNS occansionally fails, but I have seen instances where it works on seemingly identical testing configurations. I've been assuming the test failures are caused by local conditions (such as being firewalled/disconnected from the internet) or remote conditions (such as dyn.com having an outage), both of which it is difficult to get more feedback on. Can you help me with a suggestion for improving the test suite? Cheers Dave

You could make a simple network connection at the top of each test (say via a shared t/lib module) that will let you determine if the network is available, and gracefully skip the tests that are dependent on that.

Done in 0.996 being uploaded to PAUSE now. Closing if this is sufficient. Feel free to re-open if you need more.
