That is how things are supposed to work. You +don't have Test::Pod 1.14 installed, and t/pod.t says "OK, we'll just skip the +POD testing," and everything is fine. If you were installing that via the CPAN +shell, it would go ahead and do the install for you.
When an output stipulates: Test::Pod 1.14 required for testing POD to me that means a failure. Sorry, as a nube to installing this stuff for perl, I don't know that. This all started because the exiftool needed the Archive::Zip function. From there, to me anyway, it all went downhill. CPAN shell? I google searched Archive::Zip, which led me to the cpan page for downloading it. I did. Of all the README files I've looked at, I didn't see any mention of a CPAN shell. Keep in mind that you are on the inside looking out. I'm on the outside looking in and only saw what was presented to me. The README files gave instructions on the four things to do. None said anything about a CPAN shell. Now to figure out what a CPAN shell is and how to use it. MB -- e-mail: [email protected] /~\ The ASCII [I've been to Earth.
