    You don't have Test::More installed because you're using an older version of Perl. Skip the `make test` step when you install modules (or upgrade your perl).

    In the CPAN.pm shell, use a "force install" to let it ignore the test failure.

    Good luck :)

      The force install worked however

      the installed pm was

      package File::Copy::Recursive;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Carp;
use File::Copy; 
use File::Spec; #not really needed because File::Copy already gets it,
+ but for good measure :)

require Exporter;
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT_OK = qw(fcopy rcopy dircopy);
our $VERSION = '0.05';
sub VERSION { $VERSION; }

our $MaxDepth = 0;
our $KeepMode = 1;
..........

      When called from my main perl script I got an error message to the effect that "there was no dircopy() subroutine.

      When I changed the installed pm module to

      package File::Copy::Recursive;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Carp;
use File::Copy;
use File::Spec;

require Exporter;

use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT);
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw(fcopy rcopy dircopy);

our $MaxDepth = 0;
our $KeepMode = 1;
............

      It worked perfectly. For now I'm a happy camper (sort of); when I upgrade to 10.3.x I'll check this out.

      BTW - Is upgrading Perl a big deal?
