I've never received any feedback from the ActiveState build farm, though I'd reject some of the errors reported on some of my modules (explicitly marked dependency not installed, for example...
They've considered sending out failure notices, and have so far rejected it because the current automated system is loaded with kinks, and they don't want to spam authors with false failure notices (like the one above, where it's not your fault, but a prerequisite module that failed). One of my modules depends on MIME-tools, and since it fails the build, my module fails also. Since there was a version of MIME-tools that did build, I emailed the ppm mailing list and my module is available in their repository. I also like to periodically check the build status of various modules (I like that link better than the full list of modules, which takes too long to load).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
