Thanks Shlomi, That was helpful. It transpires that I added nothing to my @INC, not permanently. A complete misunderstanding on my part. I went through the CPAN set-up again and paid slightly more attention.
I managed to get some things installed, but one dependency keeps on failing tests: Net::Google::DataAPI::Auth::OAuth2 At least one other person has experienced the same issues as myself, but there do not appear to be any solutions to it. Each failed test appears to start with what I think is a test function named "is_deeply" that I think tests the data structure returned: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=124866 (copied and pasted the failed tests below). Is anybody able to suggest if this is a "me" problem or a problem with the module? If it's something I'm doing I can feel as though it's worthwhile persevering, else it might just be a waste of time. Thanks, James # Failed test at t/04_auth/04_oauth2.t line 72. # Structures begin differing at: # $got->{hd} = '' # $expected->{hd} = Does not exist # Failed test at t/04_auth/04_oauth2.t line 101. # Structures begin differing at: # $got->{hd} = '' # $expected->{hd} = Does not exist # Failed test at t/04_auth/04_oauth2.t line 124. # Structures begin differing at: # $got->{hd} = '' # $expected->{hd} = Does not exist # Looks like you failed 3 tests of 28. t/04_auth/04_oauth2.t ..................................
