Hi!

[Several problems in one email. Hopefully not too flooding.]


I try to investigate test reports and do not understand what's
happending here:


1. YAML::Syck
   ----------

The report

  http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/132ca69a-46b1-11e0-bf59-c427061ad747

says prerequisite YAML::Syck 1.17 is available but also

  Can't locate auto/YAML/Syck/LoadYAML.al in @INC […]

and

  MISSING PREREQUISITES:
  It was observed that the test suite seem to fail without these
  modules:

  auto::YAML::Syck::LoadYAML.al

  As such, adding the prerequisite module(s) to ‘PREREQ_PM' in your
  Makefile.PL should solve this problem.  For example:

  WriteMakefile(
    AUTHOR      => 'AMD (cpanplus-info@lists.sf.net)',
    ... # other information
    PREREQ_PM   => {
       'auto::YAML::Syck::LoadYAML.al'     => '0', # or a minimum working version
    }
  );


which sounds strange. 



2. YAML
   ----

The report

  http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/fcd8620e-45fb-11e0-ab1e-a372e264f9ed

says

  Can't locate YAML.pm in @INC

although YAML 0.72 is reported to be available at the end of report.


3. parent
   ------

The reports

  http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/b4b92b90-45ea-11e0-ab1e-a372e264f9ed
  http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/751453da-45f3-11e0-ab1e-a372e264f9ed

say

  Can't locate parent.pm in @INC [...]

although "parent" 0.224 is reported to be available.


                                 ***

Maybe a Module::Install anomaly?
I already grep'ed back and forth but I'm stuck.
Thanks for any hints.

Kind regards,
Steffen
