So why dont you install the module already?

A failing test does not prevent installation

    Sorry, I am new to perl and modules in particular. Could you advise how to install around the test failures? Currently I am using perlbrew and CPANM there another way you reccomend?

      You're doing all the right things (perlbrew, cpanm). The failing test you experienced was due to an outage to the underlying infrastructure. I appreciate that if you are just starting out it's hard to know which tests are OK to skip, and what are things you should genuinely be concerned with. You can evaluate these on a test by test basis, however should you wish to skip tests, cpanm has options: -n/--notest to skip tests all together, -f/--force to force the installation regardless of test failure.

        Thank you for the advice! Will try to re-install this evening!
