CPAN Test::Deep - Do I need this?

[PaulReed]

I installed some Perl Modules with CPAN, and everything went fine but when I ran into Test:eep, it went into a endless loop. I'm new to this... do I need Test:eep?

I'd appreciate any help you can give me,

Thanks,
PaulReed

do I need Test:eep

You only need to install modules you are going to use.

Thanks Audiopro...

CPAN and the Perl Modules were being installed via a script, and Testeep wasn't one of the Modules there were suppose to be installed, that's why I got confused when CPAN tried to install it. Do you know why CPAN would do that?

Thanks again,
PaulReed

If they are being installed from a script, there must be a list of moudules somewhere and Test:eep is in that list.

Thanks for responding Audiopro.

This is the list in the script:
my @names = qw(CPAN URI HTML::Tagset HTML::HeadParser HTML::Form HTML:arser Text::Autoformat HTTP:ate DBI DBD::mysql Time::HiRes AppConfig Template CGI Apache::Cookie Apache:BI Apache::SubProcess Apache::Session GD GD::Text GD::Graph);

Testeep came up right after this...

*** REQUEST ***
Please use Test::Reporter to report test results - it's the only way to measure popularity of distribution.

Then Testeep went into an endless loop. If I don't need Test:eep then I won't worry about it but like I said I'm new at this and didn't want to miss anything.

Thanks

I don't know what test::reporter is but if it is broken don't use it. Most of the common modules are installed with the Perl distribution so you only need to install additional specific modules for additional tasks.
Where did the installation script come from?

When running the script I refer to above to install Perl Modules, I'm running into this error and endless loop on a mudule I'm not really asking for but maybe I need it because it trys to do this right after Apache::Test.

I'm new at this and if anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
