Re^2: Installing Modules Without Root

Dear Perl Monks,

Thank you very much for your timely reply.

This is turning out to be much harder than I thought! I followed the directions given at: http://sial.org/howto/perl/life-with-cpan/non-root/

After this I go to the CPAN shell and said "install LWP" and at the very end I get an error (below). What am I missing?

============ERROR============
Failed 27/37 test scripts, 27.03% okay. 205/532 subtests failed, 61.47% okay. make: *** test Error 2 /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK Running make install make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
============END OF ERROR============

PerlMonks, Any thoughts on this? I have spent a lot of time on this seemingly trivial issue, with no success :( Thanks again.	[reply]
