Re^2: cannot install HTML Parser module using CPAN shell

in reply to Re: cannot install HTML Parser module using CPAN shell
in thread cannot install HTML Parser module using CPAN shell

Both reports contain the line

make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
[download]

While typing force install DISTRIBUTION will not take the output from make test into consideration and proceed with installing, it will not reveal the cause why the tests did fail.

I'd leave that to the author(s) of the distributions accompanied by detailed bug-reports.

Yes, I undertand I can always bypass the results with a force. I'm just not comfortable installing a module that fails a test since it implies that something is inherently wrong with the code. What detailed bug report do I send the author(s)? The same output I posted above?	[reply]
