From the Jargonfile:
smoke test
- A rudimentary form of testing applied to electronic
equipment following repair or reconfiguration, in which power is
applied and the tester checks for sparks, smoke, or other
dramatic signs of fundamental failure.
See magic smoke.
- By extension, the first run of a piece of software after
construction or a critical change.

What is Test::Smoke
Test::Smoke is the symbolic name for set of scripts and modules that try to run the perl core tests on as many configurations as possible and combine the results into an easy to read report.
The basic cycle looks like:
fetch_sourcetree foreach $config ( @configurations ) { make distclean ./Configure $config make make test (and log failures) } create_report() mail_report()
