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

Hey Monks

I am trying to install WWW::Mechanize (Strawberry Perl, Windows 10 64 Bit) using the Cpan tool ( install WWW::Mechanize), however, the install consistently returns an error.

Specifically the error I get is t/local/back.t ........... 1/47 Error GETing http://localhost:63861/: Can't connect to localhost:63861 at t/local/back.t line 53.

From what I can tell, it might have something to do with IPv6 but I am not sure as I am a beginner. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as this is incredibly frustrating.

    Go ahead and force install the module(force install WWW::Mechanize) or install without testing (notest install WWW::Mechanize)

    It is a known issue to the module author, so as a beginner, there is nothing for you to do

      Thanks for your help. Relieved to know it's a known issue.
        Hello, I've errors with same modul (missing DLL libeay32_.dll + the here described error), but force, notest doesnt work. Neither 32 nor 64-Bit Version Strawberry Perl (strawberry-perl-5.24.0.1-32bit.msi, strawberry-perl-5.24.0.1-64bit.msi). This doesnt work too: http://serverfault.com/questions/278855/strawberry-perl-libeay32-dll-problem OS is Win7 + eclipse IDE. In general perl works fine on this Installation. Every help is appreciated
