Rerunning the install process, there's a list of modules that need to be
installed:
Bit::Vector
WWW::Search
WWW::SearchResult
WWW::Search::Test
The file /Bit/Vector.pm looks ike it belongs to the Bit::Vector module
which apparently never gets installed because it fails some tests:
t/28__chunklist....FAILED tests 97, 99
Failed 2/99 tests, 97.98% okay
t/30_overloaded....ok
t/40__auxiliary....ok
Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t/28__chunklist.t 99 2 2.02% 97 99
Failed 1/21 test scripts, 95.24% okay. 2/68154 subtests failed, 100.00%
okay.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 2
/usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
what is chunklist.t supposed to test for?

When in doubt, look at the file:
http://search.cpan.org/src/STBEY/Bit-Vector-6.4/t/28__chunklist.t
