[0]Florian Ragwitz, a Perl guy and Debian developer, brought to my
attention a really cool new feature in recent versions of CPAN.pm, called
"Distroprefs". It allows you to configure CPAN.pm to do various custom
"things" when installing a distro. One major use case is automating
interactive installers with Expect, which is obviously useful.

As most of you know, Andy Armstrong, Eric Wilhelm, Leif Eriksen and
myself have been working hard to get the new version of Test::Harness out
there (Michael Peters, also, but that's for TAP archives for Smolder).
You can now download [0]Test::Harness 2.99_01 from the CPAN.
