I actually had this problem too. I never found a solution, so in the end I
just gave up and force installed. It's also on RH7.1 with perl 5.6.1 I'd
be interested in the answer if someone finds it

Subject: [Probably OT] Make test fails in Net::Telnet
Hi, I'm building a new box intended to be a mod_perl/database machine, and
in the interests of making it as up-to-date as possible, I installed
RedHat
7.1, then upgraded to perl 5.6.1.
Next step, of course, is to hit CPAN and install the basics, starting with
Bundle::CPAN.
But Net::Telnet barfs on make test.
I looked on usenet, and there was a post w/ a guy who had this same
problem,
but no reply. His post describes the problem clearly:

Subject: select weirdness/Net::Telnet install barf
Newsgroups: comp.lang.perl.modules, comp.lang.perl.misc
Date: 2001-06-15 15:21:18 PST
On my RedHat 7.1 i586 (laptop) system perl 5.6.1
Net::Telnet won't install using CPAN since 'make test'
barfs.
The select call to read on a dummy handle returns 1!
briefly:
socket SOCK, AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0;
$bitmask = '';
vec($bitmask, fileno(SOCK), 1) = 1;
$nfound = select ($bitmask, undef, undef, 0);
$nfound is 1 with SOCK allegedly ready to read!
Of course actually reading from it produces a SIGPIPE
since it's not connected to anything.
The 'socket' 'select' calls themselves don't barf.
I'm afraid to force install if there's something deep down
wrong w/my select.
Any ideas greatly appreciated -thanks!
Mark
