Hello.

I am attempting to use the MCPAN shell to install the module Business::PayPal on my Red Hat 9 server. I am running into problems when the required Net::SSLeay module drags in a bunch of other required Test modules that then fail. I get several @INC, BEGIN, and make errors. I have recorded the names of the modules that are creating these problems and the final output of the failed install, listed below:

---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during [C/CH/CHORNY/Test-Warn-0
+.10.tar.gz] -----
    Test::Exception
    Test::Builder::Tester

---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during [F/FL/FLORA/Net-SSLeay-1
+.32.tar.gz] -----
    Test::Warn
    Test::Exception

There are many other errors in the long list of output but I am wondering how I can either avoid installing these test modules or fix these test problems. Thanks.
