in thread LWP::Simple not installing on MAC OS Mojava

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.

        Hi Marto

        Some success but puzzling? I was able to install the module and it did print out. But, only when the website url began with http. If it began https it would not work?

        Just to clarify this code did not work:

        use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;

sub main {
    print "Downloading......\n";
    print get ("https://www.coursera.org/learn/mindshift/");
    print "Completed\n";
}

main();

        [download]
        where as this one did: 
        use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;

sub main {
    print "Downloading......\n";
    print get ("http://javascript.info/");
    print "Completed\n";
}

main();

        [download]

        Any advice on dealing with this would be great if you happen to know what the issue might be?
