title: Failed installation of Archive::Extract with Cpan
body: <p>I have installed ActivePerl in order to run a bioinformatic tool.
  after running the tool on Windows PowerShell I got this message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Perl module Archive::Extract (in core since 2007-07-07) is not installed on this machine!
    Perl modules are available for download at <a href="http://www.cpan.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.cpan.org/</a></p>
    
    <p>If you have CPAN installed try the following:  cpan  install
    Archive::Extract  exit</p>
    
    <p>If you are on Mac or Unix you should run cpan with sudo:  sudo cpan 
    install Archive::Extract  exit</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So I tried to install it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cpan
  install Archive::Extract
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and got this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe" "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-MTest::Harness" "-e" "undef <em>Test::Harness::Switches; test_harness(0, 'blib\lib', 'blib\arch')" t/</em>.t
    t/01_Archive-Extract.t .. # Older versions of Archive::Zip may cause File::Spec warnings
    See bug #19713 in rt.cpan.org. It is safe to ignore them
    t/01_Archive-Extract.t .. 87/?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>As I'm not adept at this I thought that I should try to install again the <strong>Archive::Zip</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>install Archive::Zip
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I got :</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>t/25_traversal.t .............. 1/41

  <p>Could you please explain what's the particular problem in order to understand it and how can I solve it?</p>
  
  <p>I don't know if it's a naive question as I have just started learning about command line tools, Linux, Perl etc.</p>
