Ah! Thanks. Now I'm getting somewhere!

I haven't _quite_ arrived yet though :(

I'm trying to install Net::DNS (required for WP.cgi - 
http://wp-whois-proxy.sourceforge.net/ -, which is what I'm actually trying 
to install).
First run within vcpan showed some Test:: modules were missing; two were 
pulled in automatically, Test::Pod was not so I installed that separately. 
Then I ran 'install Net::DNS' again, and during the make test phase I got a 
few errors:

----
t/01-resolver-file.......ok 2/8#     Failed test (t/01-resolver-file.t at 
line 36)
t/01-resolver-file.......ok 3/8#          got: 'javawoman.com'
t/01-resolver-file.......ok 4/8#     expected: 't.net-dns.org'
t/01-resolver-file.......ok 5/8# Looks like you failed 1 tests of 8.
t/01-resolver-file.......dubious
        Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
DIED. FAILED test 8
        Failed 1/8 tests, 87.50% okay
----

It said it wouldn't install without force, so I then tried 'force install 
Net::DNS' which seemed to work.

Still, I'm worried about those errors, and I have no idea what they mean.

Also, during installation I'm seeing:
----
Files found in blib/arch: installing files in blib/lib into architecture 
dependent library tree
----
This happened both for Net::DNS and HTML::Parser which I installed next (no 
'force' needed here).

Can anyone explain these errors to me, and whether I should be worried 
about them?
