saintmike has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I really like the CPAN Testers, it's a tremendous help for finding out if a module is broken on platforms that I would never have the time or patience to test on.

But there's cases where I don't want to get email, because a module obviously doesn't support a certain platform. Using SKIP for these platforms in my test suite isn't really correct because I want the module to show up broken in the stats for that platform to prevent people from downloading it and be disappointed.

Is there a way to abort the test suite in a way that says "yepp, broken, but that's not going to change any time soon because the platform you're on doesn't support half of what this module requires"?
