I don't understand what's happening with the tests reports for my module Pod::POM::View::HTML::Filter...
Even though the Makefile.PL file clearly states that Pod::POM 0.17 is required, several testers returned FAIL results and the reports showed (thanks to the t/00versions.t script) that Pod::POM 0.15 was used to test the module.
After a little investigation, it looks like the problem is that 0.15 is the version listed in 02packages.details.txt.gz, so CPAN.pm and CPANPLUS think that it is the most recent version. And the CPAN Testers obliviously continue to send FAIL reports. :-(
And by the way, the module works: it's used to automatically generate the web version of our Perl articles in the French GNU/Linux Magazine France...
If your PREREQ is 0.17, but the installer can only find 0.15, surely it should bail out with unmet dependencies well before running the tests?
Re:Eh? Why doesn't Makefile.PL bail out

Yes, on my system the Build.PL and Makefile.PL stop with an error. But it looks like it's not the same with the automated test scripts. Or some other problem.
