Good evening all!

I am trying to install the perl module 'LWP::Simple'. However, I keep geeting the following error in CPAN whenever I try to run the installation:

HTTP::Request version 6.07 or higher.
# If your version isn't good enough, we'll skip those.
# Your version is 6.18 and that's good enough
t/base/default_content_type.t .. ok
t/base/protocols.t ............. ok
t/base/protocols/nntp.t ........ 1/1
#   Failed test '404 on fake nntp url'
#   at t/base/protocols/nntp.t line 12.
#          got: '500'
#     expected: '404'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 1.
t/base/protocols/nntp.t ........ Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 
+0x100)
Failed 1/1 subtests

I have tried to look for an answer but am drawing a blank after 2 hours of searching. Could someone please advise on the best course of action to resolve this?

EDIT:

I have successfully installed the module, but it now only seems to work with URL's containing HTTP, any HTTPS URL's are registered as an 'unitialized value'. Has anyone else encountered this with LWP::Simple?
