in thread Installing modules, specifically WWW::Mechanize

This is really weird because I don't see anything in the HTML::Tagset Makefile.PL that would generate a failure to write the Makefile. Maybe you can try the following:

  1. Open a shell
  2. Change into /Users/username/.cpan/build/HTML-Tagset-3.20
  3. Run perl -w Makefile.PL
  4. Watch the error messages (if any)

... but I'm at a loss what could make HTML::Tagset fail on your machine, as the CPAN Testers Matrix for HTML::Tagset does not indicate any problems anywhere (although I see that I need to take up Win32 CPAN smoking again :-/)...

    Instead of opening a shell and changing to the HTML-Tagset-3.20 directory by hand, is much easier to perform this from the CPAN shell:
    clean HTML::Tagset look HTML::Tagset
    And then, run:
    perl -w Makefile.PL
