So the module was downloaded and `make` succeeded, but `make test` 
failed a few tests and then you interrupted it with '^C'. I'm not sure 
about the failures, but did you have a working internet connection. If 
not, that may be the reason.

In any case look in your home directory for 
.cpan/build/Mail-SPF-Query-1.999.1-0/ directory. There may be more than 
one Mail-SPF-Query-1.999.1-* directory in which case you want the most 
recent one. There should be a Makefile there and you should be able to 
cd to the directory and run

sudo make install

to install the module. Alternatively, you can

sudo cpan force install Mail::SPF::Query
