Hi All, I am attempting to install a Perl module:

Net::Google::Spreadsheets::V4

One of the dependencies is failing three tests and so will not install:

Net::Google::DataAPI::Auth::OAuth2

The failed tests give this output: 
#   Failed test at t/04_auth/04_oauth2.t line 72.
#     Structures begin differing at:
#          $got->{hd} = ''
#     $expected->{hd} = Does not exist

#   Failed test at t/04_auth/04_oauth2.t line 101.
#     Structures begin differing at:
#          $got->{hd} = ''
#     $expected->{hd} = Does not exist

#   Failed test at t/04_auth/04_oauth2.t line 124.
#     Structures begin differing at:
#          $got->{hd} = ''
#     $expected->{hd} = Does not exist
# Looks like you failed 3 tests of 28.

It would appear at least one other person has had the same problem:

https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=124866

Assuming that this module is essential for what I'm doing, can anybody shed some light on it? Is it me doing something wrong or is it a genuine bug with the module? Alternative options are very welcome. I essentially need to send data that Perl has to an existing Google Sheet.

If it matters I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64) with Perl v5.22.1

Thanks, James
