Hi,
I'll definitely preface this by saying it has been some time since I've used Linux, and I've never dealt with Perl Modules before, so I could just be being dumb here. :)
I'm running into problems with the install of Apache::Session and DBD::MySQL 2.0416. I've combed the archives of messages to this list and found a command to force the install of the Apache::Session module (perl -MCPAN -e'force install Apache::Session') but that still didn't work; the tail end of the error message is:
Failed 2/18 test scripts, 88.89% okay. 0/89 subtests failed, 100.00% okay.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 29
/usr/bin/make test – NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won’t install without force
Sooooo...sort of at a loss as to how to even debug this one. I'm not sure if I've hosed things up to the point of reinstalling everything.
I've got a RedHat 7.1 system with MySQL 3.23.36. When I ran "make testdeps" to begin with, I didn't have any of the modules, so I ran "fix testdeps." In doing so, it pretty much rebuilt Perl completely, so that could be my issue.
Thanks for any insight you may have....

That’s cool. I didn’t know that you could do it on one line like that. Do
CPAN like this:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
and then do the command you want to do from an interactive shell. “install
Apache::Session” is a command I think that you will like to try.
Then you will have a ton of extra debugging information to send us.

You aren’t at that point.

Interesting. I didn’t use “fix testdeps”, because debian had all of the
modules there for me to “apt-get install”. 
I take it “make testdeps”
has much less output now than it did before?
