No. The default Metabase setup requires just a working network
connection via HTTPS/SSL (*). Looking at the error below it seems that
LWP::Protocol::https does not work at all on your system. Maybe a
certificate issue? Or incompatible SSL modules installed on your system?
Can you check if something like

     lwp-request -mHEAD https://www.google.com

works?


Slaven to the rescue once again!

Here's what I got on my first pass:

Once I installed HTML::HeadParser, my CPANtesters set up started functioning as intended. I did 'force test NNN' on about 6 CPAN distros, and was pleasantly surprised to see reports on both the libraries tested and their prequisites in the tail.log.

So somewhere in the large stack of libraries used in the CPAN::Reporter version of report filing, there is an unsatisfied prerequisite: HTML::HeadParser. Who knows? This may have been why I was unable to get CPAN testing going eight years ago!

Does anyone know where HTML::HeadParser is used?  How should we fix?

Thank you very much.
