Yup it's black-magic :-) (not really, just a stupid bug in Configure_win32(), but the new release will have a way set 'ccversion' for non GCC compilers in smokew32.bat, as well as the bugfix) > PS: You find FAQ.pod in first mail of this thread ? Yes I did. I like it as a first version. We need more questions, but it's a good start! I did some rewriting (and reformatting) it is probaly shorter to send you the new version than a patch, so here it is. good luck, Abe -- Amsterdam Perl Mongers http://amsterdam.pm.org perl -we '$_="rekcah lreP rehtona tsuJ";print$2while s/(.*)(.)/$1/g'

=head1 NAME
FAQ about smoke database
=head1 SYNOPSIS
lynx http://www.alianwebserver.com/cgi-bin/smoke_db
=head1 FAQ
=over 4
=item B<What is it?>
An application that parses smoke-reports for perl-current and puts the
results in a database.
=item B<Why is it?>
This allows for a simple overview of the build status on as wide a
variety of supported platforms (operating system/architecture) as possible.
=item B<Where do the reports come from?>
From:
nttp://nntp.perl.org/perl.daily-build.reports
Which is basically a mirror of the C<[email protected]>
mailing list.
=item B<How long before one can see a report in this database that appears on the newsgroup?>
12 hours maximum.
=item B<How does one submit reports?>
Use Test-Smoke available on CPAN:
http://search.cpan.org/author/ABELTJE/Test-Smoke/
=item B<What is Test-Smoke?>
Extract of README: The perl core smoke test suite is a set of simple
scripts that try to run the perl core tests on as many configurations as
possible and combine that into a easy to parse report.
The perl source tree is refreshed using rsync to the latest level of the
perl development branch before the smoke tests start.
=item B<How does one use it on a *nix box?>
Read README. Run perl Makefile.PL.
=item B<How does one use it on a win32 box?>
Get rsync(from cygwin). Read <perl_src>/README.win32
Edit smokew32.cfg and smokew32.bat.
=item B<Euh... I don't see my report!>
