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

I can't seem to install the referenced module which is a prerequisite for something else. Here is what I try: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Tree::Simple::Visitor::FindByPath'

Here is what I get: 

t/70_Tree_Simple_Visitor_LoadDirectoryTree_test........NOK 8
#   Failed test '... our tree is in the proper order'
#   in t/70_Tree_Simple_Visitor_LoadDirectoryTree_test.t at line 97.
#     Structures begin differing at:
#          $got->[0] = '._30_Tree_Simple_Visitor_FindByPath_test.t'
#     $expected->[0] = '10_Tree_Simple_VisitorFactory_test.t'
t/70_Tree_Simple_Visitor_LoadDirectoryTree_test........NOK 14

I have cleared out every copy that I can find of the module locally to force a fresh download. That does not seem to correct it. What should be my next step?

    To be honest, the best place to send this to is http://rt.cpan.org actually.

    I can tell you that the tests which are failing are perfectly fine to skip, they are related to another visitor and not Tree::Simple::Visitor::FindByPath. That is assuming you posted all the failures. However, other than that, there is little I can do for you without knowing information your perl -v and OS details.

      I did not post all failures. Just the first one. Trying not to be confusing.

      should I really be posting on rt.cpan.org? I am not certain this is a bug. May be pebkac.

      Thanks for your help Stevan, it is working now.

    I tried installing Tree::Simple::Visitor::FindByPath via CPAN.pm and immediately ran into CPAN mirror trouble. To get around that, you can change your CPAN.pm config to point directly to cpan.org or some other known working mirror site, or download the bundle via the CPAN web interface and install it manually via the customary method.

      I am not having trouble downloading. I am having trouble compiling and testing.

        You can try a 'force install' via CPAN.pm (it's documented), or do 'make install' manually in your ~/.cpan directory. You can also try the last suggestion in my previous message and ignore the fact that a few of the tests failed. I have never used Tree::Simple::*, so I can't advise whether the tests which fail are significant. Your next port of call if you have trouble with it once you have it installed is the module authors/maintainers.
