"make test" fails while installing Math::Calc::Units via CPAN

I tried installing Math::Calc::Units by using " perl -MCPAN -e 'install
Math::Calc::Units'" but it leads to an error during "make test"

Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force

Should I force it? How does one force through CPAN?

Incidently "make test" failed because:

##############
Running make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
"test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/main....ok
t/pod.....Can't locate Test/More.pm in @IN
####################################

Maybe there is a way to remedy that and thus get a clean installation?

What sort of perl install do you have that doesn't have Test::More?
It's been core since 5.6.2. Are you using some OS that thinks it's a
good idea to break the core perl install into a whole lot of separate
packages? You really want to fix that as soon as possible, or you're
likely to run into other problems later.

Thanks Ben! I think I got perl as a part of fedora via yum.

This is what it reports:

Arch : x86_64
Epoch : 4
Version: 5.8.8
Release: 30.fc8

Tried to update it as well:

yum update perl
Setting up Update Process
Could not find update match for perl
No Packages marked for Update

Maybe I messed something up along the way! Tried "locate More.pm" with
no results.


But it all works after I tried

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Test::More'

and then installed

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Math::Calc::Units'


Thanks for the pointer! It is strange that yum didn't help.
