Problem with XML-Generator-0.98 HELP!

[linuxhunger]

I'm trying to install CVSMonitor on the Linux box. I'm having a problem installing the CPAN Module. I have tryied installing it manually, and also through the (install Bundle::CVSMonitor) but I always get the following error massage... Can anybody help me??? 

After I enter the make test cammand I get:

Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/DOM.t      255 65280    35   20  57.14%  26-35
Failed 1/2 test scripts, 50.00% okay. 10/113 subtests failed, 91.15% okay.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255

Thank you.

Try:

force install XML::Generator

at the CPAN shell.

This worked for me on Fedora Core 1 after I got the same error. It satisfied the setup.pl status page, and CVSMonitor worked just fine.

To me it smells like a problem in the test suite for XML::Generator rather than a real bug.

And please folks, if you have problems with CPAN files, wherever it happens, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE report the problems.

Most CPAN authors ( where the package has had a release within the last year ) are quite reponsive, and chase bugs down.

See http://rt.cpan.org/ for the request tracker / bug tracker for CPAN.

Also, there seems to be a number of bug fixes in XML::Generator 0.99

Perhaps you could try it again?

After some fishing, I installed XML::Parser, and XML::DOM and now XML::Generator installs correctly without needting to be forced.

I filed a bug against this on CPAN.
