Nmap::Scanner, won't install without force

jonsmith1982 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

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

It would probably be helpful to see the errors you get from the make step as well, to get a better idea of where things went wrong.

batch_tcp_syn_scan

You might want to submit a bug report, to skip those tests if running as non-root.

grep
