I have tried using installing BioPerl using CPAN. But it somehow passes 99% of the tests, but ultimately the result i get it a message "cannot force install"

Can it be helped. Following is the error message that i received 

Running make test

/usr/bin/perl
  "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
  "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')"
