Archive::Zip was just uploaded two days ago. It might take a day or two before it settles down. In the meantime, you could go with v1.42: `cpan> install PHRED/Archive-Zip-1.42.tar.gz` [download] or you could try a 'look': `cpan> look Archive::Zip` [download] then the normal mantra: `make make test make install` [download] That'll install v1.43.

Installed Compress::Raw::Zlib successfully. Then tried to install Archive::Zip, and failed with the same message as before. What message was that (not the summary, the actual message)?	[reply]

That is a summary, that is not the complete output, you even say Error Summary: and then quote Test Summary* Report* It just says some tests failed and names the test It doesn't say why they failed, what value was expected, what value was received For example see http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/A/Archive-Zip.html#Archive-Zip-1.43 -> http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/52b36a74-7138-1014-b404-e9901ac87222 it has stuff like `# Failed test at t/02_main.t line 146. # got: 'testdir/YXtdDx7dEB/string.txt' # expected: 'testdir\YXtdDx7dEB/string.txt'` [download] Which is a bug in the test itself, it shouldn't care about \ or / Anyway, the testers have reported this to the author ... so :) its either wait for author to release update, help the author with patches, or install module and pretend no tests failed :)	[reply] [d/l]
