Re: DBD::mysql 4.024 Released

Hi, thanks for the announcement about DBD::mysql 4.024.
I tried to install it via cpan -i DBD::mysql, which apparently failed due to
failed tests, so I tried it again as cpan -f -i DBD::mysql.
I get the same messages about failed tests,  and the last
output message is "install failed". But when I inspect
perl/site/lib/DBD/mysql.pm, I see that it says $VERSION = '4.024'.

I'm not sure what to think. Was the new version actually
installed? (Previous was 4.022.) Or is the installation
mixed up in some way? How can I tell for sure?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

PS. Here is the last part of the output from cpan -f -i DBD::mysql:
