Re^3: WWW::mechanize install

    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.

      Thank you for your reply about the HTTP::Server::Simple. I just tried installing that with the code below but as you can see (also below) I got another "fail" message.

      How do I install WWW::Mechanize if it didn't work before and I get a "Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible" message?

        Weird. CPAN claims that some YAML decoder is not available and it then tries to proceed to find the prerequisites without inspecting META.yml. But then it seems to fall flat on its face, because make fails. I'm not sure what happens there, but my guess is that installing some YAML parser could be the path of least resistance. Maybe YAML is the one that's easiest to install.
