Rudimentary smoke tester for cpan testers, built upon cpan::reporter. use at your own risk. it requires a recent version of cpan::reporter to run.

currently, cpan::reporter::smoker requires zero independent configuration; instead it uses configuration settings from cpan.pm and cpan::reporter.

once started, it retrieves a list of distributions from the configured cpan mirror and begins testing them in reverse order of upload. it will skip any distribution which has already had a report sent by cpan::reporter.

features:
* no configuration needed
* tests each distribution as a separate cpan process -- each distribution
has prerequisites like build_requires satisfied from scratch
* automatically checks for new distributions every twelve hours or as
otherwise specified
* continues until interrupted with ctrl-c
* checks cpan.pm "distroprefs" to see if distributions should be skipped
(before handing off to cpan)
