Hello people.

Well I've gotten stuck again, installing and configuring all of the
perl stuff I think I will need. Trying to run the "torture.pl" script
from Issue 8 of The Perl Journal gave me error messages stating that
libwww-perl could not be found.  OK, so the README for libwww-perl
says I needed to install MIME-Base64, libnet, and MD5 before trying to
install libwww-perl. No problem installing those; the tests all
succeeded. But when I get to the "make test" step, I get a bunch of
error messages like:

...
robot/rules.........dubious
        Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
robot/ua............dubious
        Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
local/autoload......dubious
        Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
local/get...........dubious
        Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
local/http..........dubious
        Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
local/protosub......dubious
        Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
FAILED--29 test scripts could be run, alas--no output ever seen
*** Error code 2

Stop.   

The error messages suggest that MD5 is not installed, but I did
install it successfully in the /usr/src/perl5.004_04/ext/MD5-1.7
directory. Does it need to be somewhere else? What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance!
-Ken
