Well, here are the problems I've ran into with that:

1. The App-perlbrew version that ships with Mageia Linux 2/Cauldron failed to
install it. After I upgraded it to the latest CPAN release, it was able to
install it. I think the problem is that the archive is only available
as .tar.bz2 and not as .tar.gz.

2. I had problems installing the stable version of Test::Warn. I was able to
install https://metacpan.org/release/CHORNY/Test-Warn-0.23_01 manually.

3. YAML::LibYAML fails to install with this error:

--------------------

I don't know what to do with the YAML::LibYAML failure, but it is part of
https://metacpan.org/release/Task-FreecellSolver-Testing ’s dependencies, which I need to install in order to
test Freecell Solver.
