in thread cpan broken?

I have never heard of cpanp before. Is it better? Looks like I can`t just say cpanp HTML::Tidy to try and install...

Hmm interesting with the testers thing. If I use the -f switch to install tidy will tidy not work or would it be ok?

Thanks!

    cpanp is the new, improved cpan but there is little difference in use. To install a package use

    cpanp i HTML::Tidy

    or

    cpanp t HTML::Tidy

    just to download and test it.

    I'm fairly confident that HTML::Tidy won't work though. There's a bunch of errors being reported in the author's XS code so forcing an install isn't going to work.

      So is there any way to get a working copy of HTML:Tidy?
        That is a "working copy" of HTML::Tidy. So a few tests fail, [http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=32944|#32944: PATCH for failing test with newest libtidy..]
