Nessus perl modules and RedHat Enterprise AS v3

[Nicholas Ritter]

I have come to find that the Net::Nessus::ScanLite perl modules do not 
build/test on RedHat Enterprise AS v3, and it seems to be something 
centric to RedHat and its Perl and gcc installs.

I am trying to use Nessus 2.0.10a and the Net::Nessus 0.08 
Net::Nessus::ScanLite 0.01 perl modules. I have had confirmation from at 
least one person that the same version of Nessus and Nessus perl modules 
work on Fedora Core 1 (which has a different version/build of Perl, and gcc)

The error occurrs during the 'make test' phase. The error is below:

cp nessusc blib/script/nessusc
/usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::MY" -e "MY->fixin(shift)" blib/script/nessusc
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" 
"test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/base......Net/Nessus/Message.pm did not return a true value at (eval 
1) line 3.
