password generation with named argument 'dictionary_file'

[bjohas]

When installing from CPAN, I get:

Failed test 'password generation with named argument 'dictionary_file''

and

Failed test 'password generation with named arguments 'dictionary_file' & 'dictionary_file_encoding''

What could be the problem here? Is my installation incomplete somehow? (OS X)

I believe CPAN will terminate the install if a test fails, so I think your install would have been aborted. You can force the installation regardless of test outcomes with the cpan's -f flag.

Tests should not fail though, so it implies something else has gone wrong.

Could you show me the exact command you used to do the install, and, the full output of the install? Also, what exact version of MacOS are you using? And, are you using the default Perl, or Perl from another source like Perl Brew?

[bjohas]

It's the default perl under OS X (10.11.6.)

sudo cpan install Crypt::HSXKPasswd

generates

(Sorry, don't know how to stop the hash symbol from being interpreted as heading)

Btw. installation with -f works, and e.g. hsxkpasswd on the commandline seems to give correct results - so perhaps this error doesn't matter?
