Magpie is a /caching /frontend for the CPAN Testers DB backend.

All new reports that are *not* a PASS are cached in Magpie so they load 
instantly. PASS reports are loaded on demand from the CPT backend and 
cached.

I probably need to update the "I cannot fetch from CPT" error message 
when it fails so it's more obvious what's happening.

        In the meantime, you can use one of these links on the matrix
        page:
        <br>
        - Matrix via ndjson API ("fast2")
        <br>
        - Matrix at perl-magpie
        <br>
        These two seem to have the recent reports.

      Thanks. fast2 is what I customarily use.  I did go to magpie:
      <br>
      <br>
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
        href="https://matrix.perl-magpie.org/dist/JSON-PP/4.18/v5.43.9/"
        moz-do-not-send="true">https://matrix.perl-magpie.org/dist/JSON-PP/4.18/v5.43.9/</a>
      <br>
      <br>
      ... and saw two of my reports.  The Linux one came right up when I
      clicked on the link.  The FreeBSD one at first displayed an
      "unable to fetch report" message, but when I retried a minute
      later, I was successful.
