Re: CPAN::Reporter not sending reports on Windows 10

Hello Robert,

In this email:
https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers.discuss/2018/08/msg4344.html

I posted some steps ( also pasted below )  I took when setting up my
windows virtual machines for smoking cpan. Make sure you set up full
control permissions on c:\tmp  and c:\Strawberry directories. In step 4
you will execute " o conf init test_report" which is the command that sets
up your metabase_profile and other configurations for submitting your cpan
reports.

1- Download and install the version of Strawberry Perl you want to test (
http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html - I used the recommended Perl
versions in msi edition )
2- create a C:\tmp directory
3- Set permissions to Full control on C:\tmp and C:\Strawberry
4- execute 'cpan' command on a command prompt or powershell terminal ( your
preference )
  cpan> install Task::CPAN::Reporter
  cpan> install CPAN::Reporter::Smoker
  cpan> reload cpan
  cpan> o conf init test_report
5- open powershell and start the smoker:
   perl -MCPAN::Reporter::Smoker -e start


Hope this helps.
