Endless loop in make test

I tried to install MIME::Tools in a Perl fresh install. When I run make test it gets in an endless loop. This is Perl v5.22.1 and I tried MIME::Tools 5.507. When I make test it spits a lot of "Missing operator before...." (Missing operator before ::15::04::26::09::17::50::00050_capture?) Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 303947) line 1, near "2::15::04: :26::09::17::50::00027_capture" I fixed it installing Date::Parse. I am not sure it is required only for the tests or it is actually used in the module, so I file this report. Hope this helps.

Hi, Unfortunately, I don't have a machine running Perl 5.22, so I cannot test this. I check to see if Date::Parse is a dependency of a module used by MIME::tools or the tests. Regards, Dianne.

Hi again, Date::Parse is required by Mail::Field::Date. I think if you'd have used the CPAN module to install MIME::tools, the dependency would have been pulled in. Regards, Dianne.
