Core modules

I notice that the list still includes some core modules (CPAN, Data::Dumper and more). Wasn't the original intention not to include core modules as they already have their tests in the core?

No, the original intention was not to include core modules because it's more of a hassle to get tests integrated into the core than into a module distributed to CPAN. However, I realize that in the case of a dual-life module like Time::HiRes or Test::Harness, it's no harder for the hoplites to integrate those changes, because they still go through the module's owner first anyway.

Eh? I don't remember it being a hassle to get tests into the core. We like tests.

It's a hassle for a newcomer unfamiliar with Perl and p5p workings, I think. I think it's easier to have them send patches to a module author.

Remember, one of my goals here is to have newer contributors involved, and they may not have the years of experience and accumulated knowledge.
