Venerable brethren and sestren,
I am trying to install MozRepl from CPAN, but many test are failing. I have Mozilla Firefox 10.0 (wow, they increment versions faster than Perl!) with MozRepl 1.1. Is there anyone having any experience or knowing a workaround? The first failure:

The last one ():

There are 8 more failures, most of them similar to the ones already mentioned, however the last three seem more serious (getting undef instead of something):
