Okay... Here are a few pointers to what could be the problem:
The author of the module, brian d foy, is right now in Iraq, that strange
place in the desert the USA choose to invade.
Him, brian d foy, being in Iraq, is a slight problem. Yet there might be a
(slow) solution
Visit brian's sourceforge web site and file bug-report (with the output that
'make test' returns), and he might find the time to help you in the long run.
BTW. the problem might be you are using a higher version of iTunes, than brian
did develop his module for. The last time I read about Mac::iTunes, he stated that he
has to reverse engineer the new changes to some of the newest iTunes files. Him being
in Iraq meant he got his iTunes update as part of iLife... through the mail. The
internet is to slow for a live update.
The quick, FAST, and dirty way for you is to install the module with from CPAn
with FORCE. I.e. FORCE INSTALL Mac::iTunes.
