make test error installing Net::Ident
All,
I understand this may be the wrong place to ask a perl question, but I have
a question that Google nor any list I can find will answer... trying to
install perl module Net::Ident, I get make test errors as follows. I'd
really appreciate any tips. I've no idea why this is happening (Fedora Core
1):
# perl -MCPAN -e'CPAN::Shell->install("Net::Ident")'

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Do not worry if any of the following items are not found
Checking for previous Net::Ident... Not found.
You could force installing the backwards-compatible Net::Ident, for
example because you want to use scripts that rely on the backwards
compatible calling syntax [not that that's very likely; I'm not aware
of any existing scripts that use it -- JohnPC].
To enable this, re-run this Makefile.PL using:
perl Makefile.PL --force-compat
Checking for Apache.pm... not found

This is what advice I found elsewhere:
1) "Looking at the code in the module, it has some issues. The function
_export_hooks() is called as the module is loaded. The call for the function
is, however, well before the declaration for the function. So, its nothing
your doing wrong, its just the module. To fix it, you could remove the
prototype off of _export_hooks()"
2) Net::Ident appears to be abandoned to some degree.
Version 1.20 was written in 1999, and some CPAN testers have failed to
install this module. The problem, I believe, is caused by not being able to
connect to particular servers the author has specified in the test scripts.
After 5 years, it isn't all that surprising if they no longer exist.
>From the top of "t/Ident.t":
# test the Net::Ident module, which is a bitch, because you really
# need an ident daemon to test it, and then you usually get a connecti
+on
# from a remote machine, and then ask for the username.
# so what we do is try to make a connection to an ident daemon, on
# some machine, and if that succeeds, see if we can do a successful lo
+okup
# on that.
# This isn't guaranteed to succeed. If you are not (properly) connecte
+d
# to the internet, and if your localhost doesn't run an ident daemon,
# then this script won't work. If you do know a machine that you can
# currently reach, which runs an ident daemon, then put it's name or
# IPnumber in the 'hosts' file in the t/ directory.
#
You have two choices:
1. Install manually, jumping through the hoops to get the tests to pass. From
the comment it looks like "t/hosts" is the hoop you need.
2. Force install without tests.
