Re^2: problems installing WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS

I read that thread and the other links it contains, but all I see is an acknowledgement of problems with no official solutions. Or did I miss something?

Let me ask a different question: I have had problems installing perl modules from CPAN before, and occasionally the "solution" is to do a force install because the test itself is either broken or isn't testing for something that really matters in the context in which the module is used. Could that be the case here? If I force install Test::TCP given my current build failures will WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS still work?

Test::TCP is a module for testing TCP connections. WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS does not use Test::TCP, so the two are not interrelated. I think Test::TCP is pulled in by LWP::Protocol::PSGI for self-testing. There may be problems with your setup that prevent Test::TCP from passing its test suite that may also prevent WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS from working, but they are not apparent to me.	[reply]
