Hi,

I'm trying to install libwww-perl-5.69 on my OSX machine to run under
Perl 5.8.0. The build appears to have gone okay but when I run 'make
test' I get the following output:

make: *** [test] Error 2


The errors seem to refer to this line in ./t/local/http-get.t and
../t/local/http.t although I don't understand it enough to work out what
the problem is.

print "ok 8\n";
print "not " unless $res->previous->is_redirect
and $res->previous->code == 301;

Can anyone suggest why things are going wrong and how I can fix it
please?

Thanks,

Mike
