in reply to Perl Google Sheets API Install Problems

What I found, is that in the t/04_auth/04_oauth2.t test file, there's a query that looks like it adds a field that the test file wasn't expecting.

The repository appears to be a bit problematic and I don't have time to sort it out currently, but you can add the following line:

        hd => '',

...on lines 78, 108 and 134 of that test file, then run:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

[download]

You can download the distribution from here.

Knowing that these three test failures are not significant and won't cause any harm, you can also install from CPAN with force (which isn't something one should normally do):

cpanm -f Net::Google::DataAPI

    That's such a relief that it wasn't just me being a fool!

    It's worked perfectly. Thank you for trying it and giving me the instructions. I had considered doing something similar to what you suggested, but I wasn't sure at all of what to do exactly.

    Thanks, James

      I notice you're new around here jamesk (welcome to the Monastery, by the way!), so if this isn't a one-off question and you're still listening, I'd be willing to fix this issue, as well as other blatant warnings to push back to the CPAN, so long as you'll hang around and test it in a real environment.

      Are you available for this type of work?

        Hi Stevie,

        TLDR: I am available and happy to do whatever needs to be done.

        To be very generous to my job title, I'm a Perl developer on a piece of software called EPrints. Any opportunity to learn more would be brilliant. I've only been in this post for a year and while I've learnt a lot I have a lot further to go.

        Thanks,

        James
