`UMEMOTO/Socket6-0.25.tar.gz Won't repeat unsuccessful test during this command` [download] If this was the first module that failed, your next step is now to investigate why Socket6 fails on your machine. The bug tracker lists some of the problems people seem to encounter. To get a better view of what problems you have, enter the following command in the `cpan` client: `look Socket6` [download] This opens a shell with everything unpacked for you so you can then run: `dmake dmake test` [download] ... and see where it fails.
