Problem adding Perl-Net::Ping::External module
Good Morning:
I was trying to add some Perl Modules required for installing Pandora FMS 1.2 in a computer with Red Hat Enterprise Linux v. 4 update 4, but trying to do it with cpan shell I’ve found a trouble with Net::Ping::External module.
In fact, I don’t understand the reason of this issue, but I also must admit I am a beginner in this subject. Could you help me with the installation of this module? Is it really necessary for Pandora running fine? I’d really appreciate if you could give me some advice.
I attach you a part of the output of the command. Tell me if you need more info:
cpan> install Net::Ping::External
Running a more verbose test suite.

Thank you for your quick answer, manu.
The issue is that a needed perl module (Net::Ping::External ) cannot be added (regarding the INSTALL file). As it shows in the output during the adding process of this module:
Tests: fail
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 1
/usr/bin/make test — NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won’t install without force -
