in thread Installing Perl modules on Mac OS X 10.2

Thank you for your help. I was able to force the install and after a few test scripts WWW::Mechanize appears to be working properly for me.

For future reference, is there a way to peek at these tests and determine for myself whether the failure is critical or not?

    Yes - just look at the source code and determine which features it uses. CPAN.pm downloads and extracts a module distribution, usually into ~/.cpan/build/<distribution> - you can look there. Alternatively you can look on http://search.cpan.org - the "browse" link of a distribution lets you browse the whole distribution directory.
