Net::Google Fails Spelling Test?

Cody Pendant has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Can anyone explain this output when installing Net::Google?

t/000-key.........ok
                                        
t/001-search......ok                                        

t/002-spelling....NOK 5
#     Failed test (t/002-spelling.t at line 42)
#          got: 'nu york city'
#     expected: 'new york city'
# Looks like you failed 1 tests of 5.
t/002-spelling....dubious

is it a joke? If so I guess I don't get it.

Google spell checker apparently changed its mind since the release of that module. The author is making a check on `nu yirk citee`, which obviously was returned as `new york city` at one point in time. But now, Google doesn't suggest anything better than `nu york city`. And so the module works as expected: `% perl -MNet::Google -wle'open(KEY, "<", ".googlekey");chomp($k = <KEY +>);close KEY;$g = Net::Google->new(key=>$k);print $g->spelling(phrase +=>"nu yirk citee")->suggest()' nu york city` [download] ;-)	[reply] [d/l]

Surely the fact that it returns anything at all from a google spelling suggestion call should be enough? And did my install really fail and have to be forced because of that? Very strange. ($_='kkvvttuubbooppuuiiffssqqffssmmiibbddllffss') =~y~b-v~a-z~s; print	[reply]
