Cpan fail
I tried to install a perl module today. Ok my machine is old, but that's why I'm using cpan rather than using a package that comes the OS. First I discovered readline wasn't working in cpan. That's an easy fix right, you just do install Bundle::CPAN. Nope, it fails.
Recursive dependency detected:

=> Test::Harness.
Cannot continue.
Now, I'm not dissing people who write perl doing testing. However if you're writing a test harness, please make sure that you're not needed for any of your dependencies to compile. What am I supposed to do?
