Force Install without Running Tests

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

I running this command:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'force install Math::Bigint'
[download]

But this part of the installation is taking too long (almost 1 hour already).

Running make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_h
+arness(0, 'inc', 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/00-compile.t t/01-dh.t
t/00-compile.t .. Math::BigInt: couldn't load specified math lib(s), f
+allback to Math::BigInt::Calc at /home/xxx/.cpan/build/Crypt-DH-0.06/
+blib/lib/Crypt/DH.pm line 6
t/00-compile.t .. ok
t/01-dh.t ....... Math::BigInt: couldn't load specified math lib(s), f
+allback to Math::BigInt::Calc at /home/xxx/.cpan/build/Crypt-DH-0.06/
+blib/lib/Crypt/DH.pm line 6
t/01-dh.t ....... 16/21

I was wondering if there is a way to bypass the tests since I am already doing a force install?

Sure you can force install it. But this will not help when you come to actually use the module that you are trying to install, which appears to be Crypt::DH You need to install either Math::BigInt::GMP or Math::BigInt::Pari. The test suite for Crypt::DH will then actually complete in the tiniest fraction of a time and the module itself will become actually usable.

`sudo cpanm --notest Math::Bigint` App::cpanminus.	[reply] [d/l]

I know that I'm years behind on this. But, just in case someone else goes looking for this information, try... Using CPAN/MCPAN Shell: `perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN::Shell->notest('install', 'Math::Bigint')"` Using CPANM (CPAN::Minus): `cpanm Math::Bigint -n` Hope I'm able to help.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi mrmattipants, and welcome! I think that should be Math::BigInt (note the upper-case 'I' in `Int`). A normal `cpanm Math::BigInt` succeeds for me on 5.24.0 (on Linux Mint).	[reply] [d/l] [select]

method 1 (shell->notest) worked for HTML::HTMLDoc. Thank you!!	[reply]

Go to the build directory (it should be build by now), type in 'make install'.	[reply]
