Don't you hate when the tests fail? That usually
is a sign that something is wrong, but %99 of the
time i have found that i can still use the module
anyways. Instead of issuing your one-liner, why
not go ahead and run the cpan interactive shell?
Just type 'cpan' and press enter. Follow the
directions and then you can easily install
modules like so:
cpan> install Template
but ... you will no doubt run into the same
problem. In those cases (or in the cases where
the test suite takes too damn long), issue:
cpan> look Template
instead and you will be taken to another shell
account where you will find youself inside a
untarred temp dir for the module. From here:
$perl Makefile.PL
$make
$make install
Since you have already downloaded the module from
you last command, you probably only need type the
last command.
Hope this helps, and comments/discussions about
this technique are more than welcome.
