Dear Sebastien Aperghis-Tramoni,

This is a computer-generated report for Net-Pcap-0.15
on perl-5.8.8, created automatically by CPAN-Reporter-1.06
and sent to the CPAN Testers mailing list.

If you have received this email directly, it is because the person testing
your distribution chose to send a copy to your CPAN email address; there
may be a delay before the official report is received and processed
by CPAN Testers.

Hello,

Unless I'm wrong, this report should not have been send because there is a
dependency issue, where the module need an external library unavailable
on the system. Makefile.PL checks for its presence and die() if it cannot
be found, as shown in the output below.

I thought this was the sanctionned way to signal to auto-smokers that a
dependency was not found. Has this changed?

Just exit, don't die. If Makefile.PL exits with an error, that's a
FAIL. (unless you happen to use one of the special "OS Unsupported"
strings)

If you exit 0 without creating a Makefile, CPAN/CPANPLUS will not
continue, nor will they send an error message.
