[Catalyst] How To Fix Test-Harness-3.14?

[Robert L Cochran]

I'm trying to install Catalyst-Runtime-5.7015 using cpan inside a CentOS
5.2 virtual machine (running under VMWare, fully updated to current
CentOS patches) and one of the reasons installation is failing is
because Test-Harness-3.14 is failing it's own tests. I'm not very good
with Perl at this time and I figure there are people here who understand
why Test-Harness fails. Here is the output I have from 'make test'.  Can
anyone suggest what the problem is?

Thanks
