in reply to cannot install HTML Parser module using CPAN shell

t/pod.................dubious

This is an error in a test of the Pod for HTML::Tagset, probably with Test::Pod. Some developers leave Pod testing on, forcing everyone who tests their code to test the Pod as well.

Since the other tests pass, you should be able to safely tell CPAN.pm: "force install HTML::Tagset" and then be on your merry way.

As a side note, you may want to install CPAN::Reporter, so that you can automatically submit test failure reports to authors. That might help get little annoying things like this fixed.

    Thanks for the help. The force install worked perfectly.
