Using CPAN to install Search::Elasticsearch, and I'm getting an error, seemingly in the test stages of the install:

Result: PASS  
ETHER/JSON-MaybeXS-1.003005.tar.gz  
Tests succeeded but one dependency not OK (Cpanel::JSON::XS)  
ETHER/JSON-MaybeXS-1.003005.tar.gz  
[dependencies] -- NA  
Failed during this command:  
ETHER/JSON-MaybeXS-1.003005.tar.gz : make\_test NO one dependency not OK (Cpanel::JSON::XS)

cpan[6]\>

However, CPAN says Cpanel::JSON::XS is installed successfully:

cpan[6]\> test Cpanel::JSON::XS  
Running test for module 'Cpanel::JSON::XS'  
Running make for R/RU/RURBAN/Cpanel-JSON-XS-3.0211.tar.gz  
Has already been unwrapped into directory /myhome/.cpan/build/Cpanel-JSON-XS-3.0211-\_9weML  
Has already been made  
Running make test  
Has already been tested successfully

I hope this isn't a noob question.  
Thanks.
