&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;When it comes to nmake test, it keeps failing with this:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Two thoughts:
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;This is test code that is failing -- as opposed to the code being tested failing -- so comment out the test and move on.
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Looking at CPAN there is a 5.16.3 available; maybe the problem was noticed early and fixed; so get the later version and try again.
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;I did notice that there wasn't a perldelta.pod in the tar ball. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even more reason to go with 2) above. You are wasting your time trying to fix a broken tarball when there is a later version that probably fixes it for you.

&lt;div&gt;With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;
