While attempting to install LWP:ParallelUserAgent on NT. I get the following error after running "Nmake test" :

... Failed 1/3 test scripts, 66.67% okay. 20/51 subtest failed, 60.78% okay. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ‘C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe’ : return code ‘0xff’ Stop.

Can you help please?

    Figure out which of the test scripts failed. If, for example, it was "FAILED.t", then run: perl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch -d t/FAILED.t and single-step (via the debugger's "s" command) through the test script to see what is being tested, which ones are failing, and learn more details about why (the debugger's "h h" command gives a quick list of available commands and "perldoc perldebug" gives more information on debugging).

      Thanks, never had to use the debugger before.

      BTW, I was able to install on LINUX, but not NT.

      I hate NT!
