But this is sooo tedious! We have to replicate the exact setup of gutenberg.org *and* pglaf.org to get reliable results from the beta-test. Example: my servers are all debian and have perl 5.8 whereas ibiblio is redhat enterprise with perl 5.6. This has often before given me headache because programs that ran at home, misteriously failed at ibiblio.
if it can't even span 2 versions of linux which run perl that is .2 versions apart, that means the process is very fragile; not nearly as robust as x.m.l. advocates always make it sound in their sales pitch. -bowerbird
