> Despite your assertion to the contrary, in many cases your "unclonable" modules are missing prerequisites.

Thank you monks! I see what you guys mean about the prerequisites by checking a bunch of the build.log files. Sorry for doubting you. Things like App::perlfind and Astro::Catalog and Astro::SpaceTrack require LWP::Protocol::https and did finally install once I forced Net::SSLeay. There are a couple of others that had these problems:

  • Acme::Tools - forced install 
    #   Failed test at t/02_general.t line 188.
#          got: 'server-3-163-125-2.lax54.r.cloudfront.net'
#     expected: 'www.vg.no'

#   Failed test at t/02_general.t line 189.
#          got: 'server-3-163-125-2.lax54.r.cloudfront.net'
#     expected: 'www.vg.no'
