Report test results of a package retrieved from CPAN

## NAME

cpantest - Report test results of a package retrieved from CPAN

## VERSION

version 1.57

## DESCRIPTION

**cpantest** uniformly posts package test results in support of the cpan-testers project.  See **http://www.cpantesters.org/** for details.

## USAGE

```
    cpantest -g grade [ -nc ] [ -auto ] [ -p package ]
             [ -t text | -f file ] [ email-addresses ]
             [ -x transport ]
```

## OPTIONS

- \-g grade

  *grade* indicates the success or failure of the package's builtin tests, and is one of:

  ```
      grade     meaning
      -----     -------
      pass      all tests included with the package passed
      fail      some tests failed
      na        the package does not work on this platform
      unknown   the package did not include tests
  ```

- \-p package

  *package* is the name of the package you are testing.  If you don't supply a value on the command line, you will be prompted for one.

  For example: Test-Reporter-1.27

- \-nc

  No comment; you will not be prompted to supply a comment about the package.

- \-t text

  A short comment text line.

- \-f file

  A file containing comments; '-' will make it read from STDIN. Note that an editor will still appear after reading this file.

- \-auto

  Autosubmission (non-interactive); you won't be prompted to supply any information that you didn't provide on the command line.  Implies *-nc*.

- email-addresses

  A list of additional email addresses that should be cc:'d in this report (typically, the package's author).

- perl-version perl

  An alternate version of perl on which the distribution was tested. This option allows reporting on versions of perl for which Test::Reporter is not installed.

- \-x transport

  Specify a transport: Net::SMTP or Mail::Send. This is optional. One will be chosen for you automatically if not specified. See Test::Reporter docs for further information.
