in reply to Test::WWW::Mechanize 1.40 adds scraping functions

Why are about 1 in 4 test results failures (see http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-WWW-Mechanize/ and http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Test-WWW-Mechanize+1.38)?

    Why are about 1 in 4 test results failures...

    Those tend to be due to ISPs which break DNS.

    Are you having a problem with your install, or are you just asking for the hell of it?

    If the former, mail me or make a ticket in Github.

    If the latter, I don't know or care.
