A program designed to test CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) modules for compatibility issues by running automated tests on various platforms and publishing the results online.
CPAN::YACSmoke is a Perl module that aims to simplify the process of running tests on modules uploaded to CPAN. This module uses the backend of CPANPLUS to perform these tests and to post the results to the CPAN Testers list.
When you use CPAN::YACSmoke, it will create a database file in the .cpanplus directory that'll help it track tested distributions. This is useful because it prevents the posting of multiple reports for the same module and also helps in avoiding testing modules that use non-passing modules as prerequisites.
If there are multiple versions of the same distribution that needs to be tested, CPAN::YACSmoke will test the most recent version only. However, if that version fails for any reason, it will then test the previous version.
Additionally, CPAN::YACSmoke uses CPANPLUS configuration settings as its default.
In summary, if you want to simplify your module testing process and make posting the results to the CPAN Testers list easier, CPAN::YACSmoke is an excellent Perl module to consider. To use it, simply run the following:
perl -MCPAN::YACSmoke -e test.
