USAGE
    cpantest -g grade [ -nc ] [ -auto ] [ -p package ]
             [ -t text | -f file ] [ email-addresses ]
             [ -x transport ]

OPTIONS

-g grade
    grade indicates the success or failure of the package's builtin tests, and is one of:

        grade     meaning
        -----     -------
        pass      all tests included with the package passed
        fail      some tests failed
        na        the package does not work on this platform
        unknown   the package did not include tests

-p package
    package is the name of the package you are testing. If you don't supply a value on the command line, you will be prompted for one.

    For example: Test-Reporter-1.27

-nc No comment; you will not be prompted to supply a comment about the package.

-t text
    A short comment text line.

-f file
    A file containing comments; '-' will make it read from STDIN. Note that an editor will still appear after reading this file.

-auto
    Autosubmission (non-interactive); you won't be prompted to supply any information that you didn't provide on the command line. Implies -nc.

email-addresses
    A list of additional email addresses that should be cc:'d in this report (typically, the package's author).

perl-version perl
    An alternate version of perl on which the distribution was tested. This option allows reporting on versions of perl for which Test::Reporter is not installed.

-x transport
    Specify a transport: Net::SMTP or Mail::Send. This is optional. One will be chosen for you automatically if not specified. See Test::Reporter docs for further information.

AUTHORS
This version of the 'cpantest' script was adapted by Adam J. Foxson <afoxson@pobox.com> for Test::Reporter, and is based on Audrey Tang's <cpan@audreyt.org> adaptations for CPANPLUS, which is in turn based upon the original script by Kurt Starsinic <Kurt.Starsinic@isinet.com> with various patches from the CPAN Testers <cpan-testers@perl.org>.
