Having compiled Perl 5.8.1 and removed an older version I successfully
installed all additional perl modules we need using cpan. Save one:
Trying to implement libwww-perl-5.69, the following error messages
show up while running make test:

#################################################

<SNIP>
base/ua...............ok
html/form.............Can't call method "value" on an undefined value

okay.
make: *** [test] Fehler 29
/usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
<SNAP>

#################################################

I read some old messages in regard to a similar case suggesting the
"host system" might be "misconfigured". Actually the machine can be
pinged as localhost as well as by its network name and has been an
integrated part of our internal network for a long time anyway. So
IMHO this cannot be the reason.

I'd appreciate any help...

Thanks
