Hello kiranp, and welcome to the Monastery!

As marto noted, there is a problem with the module inc::Module::Install. This is usedd on line 4 of Makefile.PL, so on systems (such as mine) on which it’s not already installed, installation of the Speedometer module fails in the configuration phase.

But I wanted to point out that the main file, Speedometer.pm, is effectively empty. There are 136 lines, but these are mostly POD:

22:34 >perl -MO=Deparse Speedometer.pm Semicolon seems to be missing at Speedometer.pm line 52. package Speedometer; sub BEGIN { require 5.006; } use File::Glob (); 22:35 >

Looks like something went wrong when uploading to CPAN?

Hope that helps,
