As a CPAN author, portability is a high priority. Unfortunately, it's not possible to have direct access to the wide variety of systems perl itself is capable of running on. But thanks to the reports submitted by CPAN::Reporter, I can remedy many platform- and version-level incompatibilities without having to wait for it to be reported as a bug. I also use CPAN::Reporter to submit my own automated test results for third-party module authors.
As a freelance developer, I always check the individual PASS vs. FAIL test results and the CPAN Testers Matrix before using modules I'm unfamiliar with.
I have found the feedback from CPAN::Reporter to be an invaluable resource.
