hi, i would like to use the nmap::scanner module but the linux cpan program will not install it without force. heres is the output from when things go wrong, does anybody know why these tests failed.

  CPAN.pm: Going to build M/MA/MAXSCHUBE/Nmap-Scanner-0.9.tar.gz

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
