I forgot what I was going to say.

Test.php (0.12)

Andy provided patches to implement is_deeply() as well as support for TODO tests and some other things I'm probably forgetting. It's pretty much feature complete thanks to him.

As for making it into something like Test::Builder/Test::More I'd rather keep at least this distribution in its current form where it's enough to just drop one file into a PHP project to have TAP testing. It might be good to fork it into something more modular for another audience. Additional assertions can be implemented currently by calling _proclaim() directly in a custom function, although that's not documented.

BitTorrent (V0.02)

Probably the worst CPAN module I've ever seen. The only function it currently implements is a simple wrapper around a PHP script shipped with the distribution which the user is expected to drop in /var/lib/perl. This is both redundant to existing BitTorrent modules and has no place in the top level namespace, or on CPAN at all.

pip (0.08)

Totally Awesome. I was looking for something that would simply allow me to do what C<cpan -i My-Package-0.01.tar.gz> doesn't. I.e. to install a given CPAN-style (Makefile.PL and all) package as if it came from CPAN, without actually putting it on CPAN.

I began by looking at the CPAN.pm and CPANPLUS.pm code and found that the workflow of those modules makes it really hard to inject a .tar.gz package into the system, I then set up my own CPAN mirror with CPAN::Mini::Inject which was unstable, slow and generally supreme overkill when all you want to do is install a package from the command line.

Anyway, this rocks, and it does other neat stuff too!

Net-DNS-Check (0.45)

A decent module that's decently documented. One issue I have with it is that if you want to write a custom Net::DNS::Check::Test::my_test module and have it use it you have to mess around with Net::DNS::Check::Config's internal datastructures. I.e. $conf->test_list( [ qw< my_test > ] ); $conf->{ test_configured }->{ my_test } = 'E'. If you don't do this it'll silently miss your custom test.

EasyTool (1.0.4)

A buggy duplicate of a dozen modules.
