This should be written as an author test script:

A script that requires a minicpan to be available, unpacks all
distributions in it, and runs all perl files in it through PPI, throwing a
fail when errors are encountered, both to find general bugs and to find
cases that trigger code thought to be dead (#9#9).
It could additionally also collect statistics of file size and file parsing
time in order to find cases where PPI performs badly (#5#5
).

Awesome! :D

The link in #9 indicates it was there in older releases and i don't see it anymore in newer releases on metacpan, so i guess it was removed, but the git history doesn't reach that far back and the Changes file doesn't seem to indicate a reason. Why was it removed?

[adamkennedy]

Probably because it introduced superfluous additional dependencies.

Also, other tools for automatically unpacking and walking all of a minicpan
exist now
