Tapping CPAN testers

[Andy Armstrong]

Last night I subscribed to cpan-testers at perl.org (firehose) and  
filtered it down to a dribble with a little script that looks for  
results for test runs against Test::Harness 2.99 or later.

This morning I have 120 test reports. The eight failures (including  
two from me and one from Schwern) all look to me like real failures  
rather than T::H 2.99 problems. There's one UNKNOWN which passes here  
for me.

All of those tests are from Andreas Koenig (the majority), Schwern  
and me.

I'm quite encouraged by the results although it'd be nice to see  
evidence of a few more people using it. It'll be interesting to have  
a few days worth of history and learn if anyone else is using 2.99.

I didn't route the mail to the commits list; there are currently  
probably 300 reports a day for us and that should increase over time.  
If the consensus is that they should go to the commits list I'll make  
it so.
