I've been trying to install Net::Z3950::ZOOM on a couple of different machines, one for Koha, and have been getting the following for several days: # Failed test 'connection to 'test.indexdata.com:2118' refused (10000)'
I can force the install.
We are still in the process of moving offices, and in that connection we cleaned up some old machines that were not (supposed to be) used. test.indexdata.com is officially dead. We must have forgotten that it was used in the perl module tests. We will point those to some other target in the next release.
I would suggest making any tests that require network access optional if that's practical. This issue has come up a few times in the past and is especially difficult for folks that don't have a lot of CPAN experience.
Not easy to do: the standard CPAN sequence is just: perl Makefile.PL make make test sudo make install If we change that so that people have to do by-hand configuration before "make test", then, realistically, they just won't do it. So 99% of the time, this will be done in the default way, and we therefore need to pick the best way as the default way. We won't be moving offices again for a while, anyway :-) _/|_ ___________________________________________________________________ /o ) \/ Mike Taylor <mike@indexdata.com> http://www.miketaylor.org.uk )_v__/\ "Stand and deliver ...
