  8. How to be a prolific CPAN tester Or how I learned to automate it all and test 10,000 modules a month (This is the extended bit)

  9. How to be a prolific CPAN tester 1. Use my hideous shell scripts http://cpantest.grango.org/cgi-bin/pages.cgi?act=wiki-page&pagename=CPANTesting

Get annoyed at modules that ask you questions This package comes with some sample programs that I can try to install in /usr/bin. Note that you can avoid these questions by passing the '-n' option to 'Makefile.PL'. Do you want to install lwp-request? [y] Do you want to install lwp-mirror? [y] Do you want to install lwp-rget? [y] Do you want to install lwp-download? [y] The lwp-request program will use the name it is invoked with to determine what HTTP method to use. I can set up alias for the most common HTTP methods. These alias are also installed in /usr/bin. Do you want to install the GET alias? [n] Do you want to install the HEAD alias? [n] Do you want to install the POST alias? [n]
