Module Installation Failure

aartist has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am installing Catalyst::Controller::LeakTracker module on GNU/Linux (Perl 5.8.8) and I am getting following error message while running the tests.

#   Failed test 'mentions leaked request'
#   at t/01-basic.t line 19.
#                   'Template::Declare::Tag=CODE(0x10d2cf90)'
#     doesn't match '(?-xism:leak_something)'

There are more failed tests too with almost similar messages. How I can resolve these?

Thanks.

How I can resolve these? Report it upstream (the output of `perl -Mblib t/failing_test.t`), to developer/maintainer of Catalyst::Controller You can still install the module by either skipping tests, or forcing the install. You will rarely run into issues in use, if a distros test suite has a pass rate above 90% Your title should probably include "Catalyst::Controller::LeakTracer" and "leak_something", see How do I compose an effective node title?,	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks. I have 7 out of 12 test failed, so even after installation, it is not useful. I am getting almost similar report as previously reported at CPAN Testers website. All the reports are here. What should be my next step?	[reply]

Same as before, report upstream :) Or fix it :)	[reply]

I didn't look too deeply, but it seems to me that LeakTracer 0.07 fails on ancient perls (like yours), but 0.06 and earlier were fine. Upgrade your perl if possible, or install an earlier version of LeakTracer. Report it as a bug in any event (and you might even get it fixed).

I installed varoius versions of Template::Declare and LeakTracker, but there is no solution so far. Only thing that remained constant is Perl Version	[reply]
