    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.

      Thanks.

      I was hoping to avoid a "force" I don't honestly know what this is doing (nor do I specifically care). It is a requirement for Catalyst. I don't know what Catalyst is looking for from this, so I hate to ignore an error.

      I probably need to pester the module maintainer.

      again thank you.

        You'll move forward rather faster if you do the force install and ask the maintainer about the errors at the same time. Better yet Additionally, you could ask the Catalyst tribe on the #catalyst irc channel or their mailing list. There are 100s of tests in the Tree::Simple bundle and it is very possible that a few of them are not correct.
