Re^2: What does module installation really do?

Thanks hubb0r, that makes sense. I just don't understand why I get so many errors and failed installs.

Here's what Pair has me doing:

ssh myusername@servername.pair.com.

enter password

/usr/local/bin/perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan> o conf makepl_arg LIB=/usr/home/myusername/modules
cpan> install CPAN::Modulename

[look for -- OK] (rare)
q
exit
[download]

Oh, and it looks like I'm using SSH.

I just now successfully installed CGI::Application::Plugin::ValidateRM and CGI::Application::Plugin::FillInForm, but when I tried to install CGI::Application::Plugin::DBH I got a failed install.

The tests are failing, and the module is telling you why: `Perhaps the DBD::Mock perl module hasn't been fully installed` [download] Install DBD::Mock and then it can create the mock db objects to run it's tests with.	[reply] [d/l]
