How can I fix test failures of Perl module HTML::TreeBuilderX::ASP_NET?

Question

I'm trying to install the HTML::TreeBuilderX::ASP_NET mentioned Perl module on my box with CPAN.pm, but the "make test" part of the installation fails so the module doesn't get installed.

• Distribution: HTML-TreeBuilderX-ASP_NET-0.08
• Perl: "This is perl, v5.10.0 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi"
• OS: Linux 2.6.28-13-server #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 08:47:41 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 9.04 Server Edition - "Jaunty")

Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this issue?

Thanks, Blomme

Answer 1

Your best bet is to ask on perlmonks. You could even send a message to Evan Carroll, he's always lurking down there :)

Answer 2

It looks like the module is currently broken and has quite a few FAIL reports in CPAN Testers. You've already filed a bug report.

Answer 3

Look at which tests are failing, identify why and figure out how to fix it.

Answer 4

I'm working on this now, my recent interactions with the community have caused a firm feeling of apathy towards a few past contributions. I'll fix it, but for the record this module is broken because of //previously// supported, (and tested afaik) features being pulled from Moose. This isn't random breakage.

Problem resolved, as I suspected, it was Moose breakage with how it handled TypeConstraint in new versions. They changed stuff. Anyway, try the new version if it doesn't work give me a shout. Also the project is on github now.
