> If you upload a module to CPAN, you automatically get it tested against a huge matrix of configurations.
Very true, and it's definitely a great service!
However, the set of versions/configurations is still limited, and it can take an awful lot of time for the matrix to fill up. I've fixed a bug specific to perl-5.10.0 about a week ago and so far the module hasn't been picked up by that version again.
So while this is definitely good as a service for the general public, it doesn't get you very far if you're trying to build a thing that's supposed to ensure compatibility for other Perl modules across 20 years of Perl history. :)
