Stumbling around I came to this web site:

https://metabase.cpantesters.org/api/v1/

I then modified my ~/.cpanreporter/config.ini file to read:

#####
edit_report=default:ask/no pass/na:no
[email protected]
send_report=default:ask/yes pass/na:yes
#transport=Metabase uri https://metabase.cpantesters.org/api/v1/ id_file 
metabase_id.json
transport=Metabase uri 
https://metabase.cpantesters.org/api/v1/submit/CPAN-Testers-Report 
id_file metabase_id.json
#####

I then went into the 'cpan' shell and called 'test' on one of my own 
distros.  I got no better results:

#####
CPAN::Reporter: Test result is 'pass', All tests successful.
CPAN::Reporter: preparing a CPAN Testers report for List-Compare-0.55
CPAN::Reporter: sending test report with 'pass' via Metabase

The relevant part of 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Metabase/Client/Simple.pm is:

#####
  92 sub submit_fact {
  93     my ( $self, $fact ) = @_;
  94
...
129     unless ( $res->{success} ) {
130         Carp::confess $self->_error( $res => "fact submission failed" );
131     }
#####

What is going wrong?

Thank you very much.
