Subject: WWW::Curl is CPAN.pm-unfriendly
Installing WWW::Curl from CPAN.pm is not possible out of the box. The make works fine, but in the test it stops at "t/01basic................." without any further notice (the prompt() call seems to be not shown). I suggest that in case CURL_TEST_URL is missing, all tests which need this environment variable should just skip() the tests. This would probably also help the automatic testers. There are just two test reports for the latest version on cpantesters, so I assume that the automatic tests simply do not work with the test suite. Another solution would be to use a live URL for the tests. This is not uncommon, see the test suites of LWP::UserAgent and WWW::Mechanize, especially the --nolive option in the latter. Regards, Slaven
