WWW::Mechanize install hangs on t\cookies.t ... 1/14

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

Vista, strawberry perl 5.8.8, CPAN.pm 1.9301

I have cmd.exe opened as administrator.

[download]

It then hangs at

Any ideas?

at the end of t\cookies.t add `kill 9, $pid;` so its killed and doesn't hang	[reply] [d/l]

Maybe try- ~~`install notest WWW::Mechanize`~~ Update: `notest install WWW::Mechanize` I don't think Mech has any problems (not totally sure about running it on Win) which should trouble you once installed. It looks like, just guessing, the real problem is in the t/lib package `TestServer` which uses HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI. You might try installing/updating `HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI` first and see if that helps.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
