Re: First Time CPAN Testing on Windows

Thank You, David and Alceu,

Since my last update to the disable.yml config ( 5 days ago ), I haven't
the need to restart the smoker process or press enter in the command prompt.

Since then I have been running 3 smokers with 1 VCPU and  3.75 GB of ram
and no issues so far ( I downgraded my 2 VCPU machine )

I have submitted  4056  + 57 ( I messed up with the metabase config ) cpan
reports so far.

I am running out of Free Google Credits from Google Cloud, so I am
contemplating setting up a physical machine at home to continue filling the
gap of CPAN testing for Windows ( I will probably run the machines for the
next 4 days before the credits run out ).

Thank you all for the help.
