Since you changed the mailing list of the conversation, it might be good =
for you to start from the beginning with a blank e-mail so that people =
aren't confused by the other conversation we were having on =
cpan-testers-discuss. I'm not on the cpan-discuss mailing list, so I'm =
not sure why you're trying to have a conversation with me at the same =
time you're having a separate conversation with them. I've told you all =
I know about the subject, and this is not the cpan-testers-discuss list.
