Not just failures... (Score:2)

But how about failures versus total tests. 3 failures on 30 tests is less serious than 1 failure in 8 tests, IMO.

And you could group them per platform and/or perl version.

  Ratio is not a good idea, because ever piece of shit on CPAN will be at the top.
  
  In this case, more fails implies more testing, implies more important.
  
  I'd like to see the ones shows and the ORDER shown to stay, but maybe note total tests and percentage in other columns?

    I'm sorry, I don't follow. Are we talking about the same thing? Because I was talking about the number of failure reports on CPAN testers. Whether there have been 20 reports with 2 failures, or 50 with 5 failures, that looks like a comparable result to me.
    
    Perhaps you were talking about the number of tests in a test suite.
