in reply to using WWW::Mechanize to adress fields

It wont install: make test had returned bad status, won't install without force Failed during this command: SPROUT/JE-0.060.tar.gz : make_test NO SPROUT/WWW-Scripter-Plugin-JavaScript-0.008a.tar.gz: make_test NO 2 dependencies missing (JE,JE::Destroyer); additionally test harness failed Can you tell me what is the problem and how i can resolve this?

I just installed it via CPAN and got the same error. The problem is that cpan:://JE is failing the tests, and CPAN won't install without a force. I manually downloaded and installed JE then CPAN installed WWW::Scripter::Plugin::JavaScript just fine.

    Tried that too, not listed by PPM and won't install manually. Any suggestions? I will look some more and otherwise i'll repost a question, ty.

      In addition to the cpan way of forcing with notest, which Anonymous Monk so generously showed you, I did it the old fashioned way.

      Go to JE and download it from cpan JE download
      Then tar -xvf the tarball.
      Then:
      "perl Makefile.PL"
      make
      sudo make install

      The go back to the cpan utlity:
      $ cpan install WWW::Scripter::Plugin::JavaScript

      If that don't work, tell us what errors you are getting.

        I have installed it with force and notest and now WWW::Scripter::Plugin::JavaScript installs perfectly but im getting errors afterwards, i dont even know for sure if the modules are downloaded to the correct place or that it is some other problem, but what im trying to do now is monitor the http traffic(i have downloaded fiddle) and try to create the post request without using any modules. Dont know if it will work, but i know some javascript, so it might work if i look into the http protocol a little further. Finally i have to admit i dont know how to tar files, thats why i use the PPM, its fast and easy. Bye

      zentara wasn't talking about PPM

      and won't install manually.

      sure it will, easiest thing in the world

      cpanp -i --skiptest Modulename --force cpan -f -i -T Modulename cpanm --install --notest --force Modulename cpanm -i -n -f Modulename

      Any suggestions? I will look some more and otherwise i'll repost a question, ty.

      Don't repost, figure it out :)
