use Perl

I wrote a monkeypatch (dirty, I have to confess) so that I could use CPAN::Reporter with my ISP mail server which requires authentication.

I had to do it by touching Test::Reporter as well. They will be available in CPAN at:

• http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/F/FE/FERREIRA/Test-Reporter-1.38-FERREIRA -01.patch.gz
• http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/F/FE/FERREIRA/CPAN-Reporter-1.07_05-FERRE IRA-01.patch.gz

In Test::Reporter, a new accessor net_smtp_args was created which should be filled with a hash ref. If it contains something like:

{   auth => { user => 'me', pass => '***' } }

and Net::SMTP is the current transport, it will attempt to do SASL authentication after opening the connection.

In CPAN::Reporter, the changes allow the code to read from the config file ~/.cpanreporter/config.ini two config values which get passed into Test::Reporter:

# to do SMTP/SASL authentication, add these to ~/.cpanreporter/config.ini
smtp_auth_user=me
smtp_auth_pass=***

This is not a permanent solution because CPANT::Testers::Transport::* is in the works to replace Test::Reporter which will allow more natural/elegant approaches to that.
