Download the tarball of the module and extract it and cd into the created directory. You can run any individual test with `perl -Ilib -d t/SOME_TEST_FILE` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Nowadays it is common for CPAN modules to have its version control repository hosted on some public service as GitHub. If you plan to fix the bug and send a patch to the author, it would be far easier if you use that repository from the beginning.	[reply]

`cd inst_dir perl Makefile.PL make test` [download] usually does the trick for me ... assuming that it [the module] has been created by h2xs. A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply] [d/l]
