Net::Google install problem

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

This module is very essential to my task and I'm having alot of problems installing it, anyone have an idea of where of start or what to do. I deleted SOAP::Lite, installed it again, no problem, installed perfectly. Yet Net::Google still bugs out, can anyone confirm this on a new install of Net::Google? This is my log:

# The Google API web service requires that you provide create a Google
+ Account and obtain a license key
# This key is then passed with each request you make to the Google ser
+vers.
# If you do not already have a Google Account, you can sign up for one
+ here:
# http://www.google.com/apis/

# Please enter your Google API key:

  /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

And this is line 80: my $soap = SOAP::Lite->service("file:".__PACKAGE__->_service($service));

SOLUTION: Use apt-get

Run each failing test file manually to determine exactly which code is failing.	[reply]

<s>... How do I do that, 'make test' returns the same thing..</s> It would apear as if Net::Google requires Net::Google in t-001. This is the test that fails. root:~/.cpan/build/Net-Google-1.0# perl ./t/001-search.t 1..5 ok 1 - Read Google API key not ok 2 - use Net::Google; # Failed test 'use Net::Google;' # in ./t/001-search.t at line 33. # Tried to use 'Net::Google'. # Error: Can't locate Net/Google.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/ +perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.7 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/p +erl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/loca +l/lib/site_perl .) at (eval 3) line 2. # BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./t/001-search.t line 33.

ITYM `perl -Mblib ./t/001-search.t` instead.	[reply] [d/l]

`prove -vl t/001-search.t` Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian W. Kernighan	[reply] [d/l]

Net::Google should probably be in ./blib/Net/Google.pm (or possibly ./lib)	[reply]

This is a known issue, please refer to this ticket: http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=16384 in essence, 1. cd /PATH/TO/.cpan/build/Net-Google-1.0 2. sudo cp -pR lib/Net/Google/Services blib/lib/Net/Google/ 3. perl -Mblib t/001-search.t 4. perl -Mblib t/002-spelling.t 5. perl -Mblib t/003-cache.t 6. sudo make install	[reply]
