[Melbourne-pm] using SyslogScan::SyslogEntry

[leif.eriksen at hpa.com.au]

Geoff,
    Firstly, welcome to the Melbourne Perl Mongers!

    Secondly, what platform are you running on and what version of perl  
are you using ?

    Thirdly, you may have to run the tests by hand so we can see some 
more output. Try to find where the cpan tool has put the downloaded 
distribution (for my Linux box it is typically in 
~/.cpan/build/<module>) and run the make like this

prompt> make test TEST_VERBOSE=1

There may well be more information about where in the various test files 
the failures are occuring - and at a cursory glance, it looks like the 
tests are die()'ing somewhere.
