I'm a new Perl user trying to install the "www::mechanize" program. I used the code below but keep getting error messages. I'd be grateful for any advice or suggestions about how to do this correctly.

perl -MCPAN -e shell install WWW::Mechanize::Cached

      Thank you for this code. It seemed to work a little better than what I had done previously. However, in addition to lots of other "stuff" that came out, the following appeared:

      What should I do about this?

      Warning (usually harmless): 'YAML' not installed, will not store persi +stent state Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

        Well, you don't need YAML installed in order to install WWW::Mechanize, so there must be something else going wrong. Could you please post everything (use the code tags like you did here) that cpan WWW::Mechanize produced?

        I have seen the messages:
        Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
        when a previous make attempt had failed. The solution (for me anyway) was to clean out the install directories under ~/.cpan/build and try again. It seems that build status is left in the directory and checked during any subsequent make attempt.

        Here is the output from the code you provided earlier. Hopefully this provides a better idea so I can make this work!

          It starts failing here:

          Could not read '/Users/Erika/.cpan/build/HTTP-Server-Simple-0.43-4jFYr +2/META.yml'. Falling back to other methods to determine prerequisites JESSE/HTTP-Server-Simple-0.43.tar.gz make -- NOT OK

          This means that HTTP::Server::Simple fails to install for you. Maybe try first to install HTTP::Server::Simple separate from the rest.

          HTTP::Server::Simple is only needed for testing of WWW::Mechanize, so you can still to try to install WWW::Mechanize, even if installation of HTTP::Server::Simple won't work.
