I've been trying to install DBM::Deep on 2 systems, and I'm getting hung up with various tests failing, and the install not completing, even with force.

Is there some troubleshooting guide somewhere that can help me find the root of my problem? I don't think it's specific to this module, as attempts to install other modules meet with similar problems. (It seems like a lot to post reams of test output, especially since I'm not sure how to capture it all for posting.)

Update: As I should have guessed, all my problems were related to bad paths in the cpan configuration. Even after I added user paths for modules, I typoed and had modules going to places that weren't in the environment variable.

Thanks everyone for your efforts.
