If you are installing perl modules with CPAN please be aware that you may run into a circular dependency issue while installing required modules. See here for details: http://code.google.com/p/test-more/issues/detail?id=48

I had to manual force install Test::More and File::Spec to get it to work. -[[smithian]]
