One of the web sites listed in the test is down. go to t/apache-listing.t and remove the 5th line in my @urls so it looks like: my @urls = ( "http://rsd.gsfc.nasa.gov/goesg/earth/Weather/GMS-5/jpg/vis/4km/", "http://www.apache.org/~jon/scarab/nightly/", "http://www.apache.org/dist/apr/?C=N&O=D", "http://xml.apache.org/dist/batik/", "http://perl.apache.org/rpm/distrib/", "http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/", "http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/", ); Or you can safely do a force install.
Thanks. You must get sick of these failures. Probably a good idea to print the web site that failed out so that the programmer can see that it's not a failure in libwww. Blair
