problem installing a perl module

[drgandy]

I followed the directions here:
http://codeworks.gnomedia.com/westhost-introduction/perl-modifying-the-installation/

to begin installing Perl modules. After I do the config steps, I run:
install Bundle::CPAN
and accept all of the defaults. It then exits and this is the error:
Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/dualvar.t 11 2 18.18% 8-9
1 test skipped.
Failed 1/19 test scripts, 94.74% okay. 2/189 subtests failed, 98.94% okay.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 11
/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
Running make for K/KW/KWILLIAMS/PathTools-3.01.tar.gz

Running make test
Won't repeat unsuccessful test during this command
Running make install

And suggestions?

Thanks,

There is a bug with newer modules and old versions of perl. Here is what I think is your problem. Not really any workaround here due to older version of perl
