I can't get CGI::Session to pass its tests. I've tried installing by hand, with no luck. I've found other people have had problems on super search (node 352115).

I've played around with it some, and if I run at least one of the tests by hand ala
perl -I /root/.cpan/build/CGI-Session-4.03/blib/lib/ api3_db_file.t
It works fine but using make test it fails.

I imagine the test failures are trivail and the module works as advertised but, how come something like this happens? I havn't 'fixed' the tests yet, but It looks like a bug in the testing code. I guess my question of the monks is; how common is this sort of thing? I would think CGI::Session is a fairly popular module.
