All, I have looked high and low and was directed here by someone who I trust knew what he was saying when he said this is probably the best place to ask this kind of question. If it isn't, I'd appreciate a redirect. I am trying to install perl module Net::Ident on a Fedora Core 1 machine, I get make test errors as follows. I'd really appreciate any tips. I've no idea why this is happening, as I've installed this on other similar machines in the past.

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Do not worry if any of the following items are not found
Checking for previous Net::Ident... Not found.

You could force installing the backwards-compatible Net::Ident, for
example because you want to use scripts that rely on the backwards
compatible calling syntax [not that that's very likely; I'm not aware
of any existing scripts that use it -- JohnPC].

To enable this, re-run this Makefile.PL using:

        perl Makefile.PL --force-compat
