G'day BernieC,
I assume the output you've shown is from the cpan utility.
I had a look at "reports MARIOROY/MCE-1.882.tar.gz":
you're correct in that its huge and not particularly useful.
Even the link from the last line, "See http://www.cpantesters.org/show/MCE.html for details",
wasn't helpful: it redirected then timed out.
A much better way to look at these reports is as follows.
I've shown this for MCE; the procedure's the same for most, if not all, modules.
-
Find the module on CPAN: https://metacpan.org/pod/MCE
-
Follow the "Testers" link: http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=MCE+1.882
-
That shows the latest version, 1.882.
If you're using a different version, there's a list of links in the "Other versions" column beneath the matrix (table).
-
For an MSWin O/S, use the "mswin32" column.
Then pick the row that indicates your Perl version.
If the cell matching that column & row has a coloured "swatch", that O/S & Perl version combination has been tested.
Click on the "swatch" for more details of individual tests.
-
You'll sometimes find FAIL or UNKNOWN results which match your own; a comparison can be helpful.
In this instance, there were no problems reported for "t/05_mce_child.t": not helpful for your current issue.
As I said above, I've assumed you're using the cpan utility (could be wrong).
I don't know how you've set that up or how you ran the installation.
I don't know what Perl version you're using.
Overall, there's insufficient information to suggest a fix.
If you can provide more verbose output, that would be great.
If not, maybe look at the prove utility for detailed feedback.
I wrote some notes about prove a day or two ago: possibly useful if you haven't previously used it.
I have Strawberry Perl v5.26.3 on Win10.
Purely as a test, I successfully installed MCE.
cpan> install MCE
...
All tests successful.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
