I am able to build Erlang from source, and also ran the tests shipped with the source followed the instructions documented at https://github.com/erlang/otp/wiki/Running-tests. I am seeing about 900 failures out of a total of 11000 test cases, however, the failures are not very appealing to me in terms of:
Is there a nightly build for Erlang/OTP showing the success rate?
Are they expected to fail on this platform (in my case, it's x86
linux)?
If they are not known issues, how can I find out if
there are pull requests or bug reports associated to them?
Thanks!
There are no nightly builds.
As far as I know, the tests should be passing on your machine. Perhaps something is misconfigured?
Pull requests are on GitHub: https://github.com/erlang/otp/pulls and there is an erlang-bugs mailing list: http://erlang.org/mailman/listinfo/erlang-bugs. Here is a wiki page on Erlang bug reports: https://github.com/erlang/otp/wiki/Bug-reports

I know this is probably a super silly question, but how do I install on my pc open source programs that I find here on github.
By installing I mean directly from the source code, and not by going on some external website and downloading the file from there.
I know I'm a noob, just go easy on me please
Github page of the program will generally show README file, and it would contain instructions on how to install this program. Sometimes you can find the instructions in wiki pages for this project.
There is no one general way to install something from github, it really depends on the software you are looking at.
Quite often, especially if it is a big project and is written in low level language, the main installation step is entering commands
./configure
make
make install
in your terminal, but this is only one of the different installation procedures.

Simply put, can I use github online rather than ever having to download the program for windows. It appears to be much easier than downloading git or the github application. Any thoughts on this?
Yes, you can if you like. Github supports online editing and commit. But I don't think it's convenient since you cannot compile, run and debug your codes, and easy to lost your work when you close your browser without save.
You lose a lot of power by giving up the command line, but you can certainly do most routine tasks in the cloud. You can do some limited editing and repository tasks directly on GitHub, or hook into your GitHub repository with a cloud-based IDE like Cloud9, CodeEnvy, or other similar services.

In CPAN, a huge amount of Perl modules are available.
Which is your favourite way / method to assess the quality of a Perl module ? --- in prior to a manual test.
It seems like a rather easy question but it implies an impact. Many modules are buggy and time wasters. And it is not my intention to name a few of them to avoid an unnecessary defamation.
MetaCPAN Metrics: Rating, Bugs, Last Updated
In order to get easy access to these, try searching on metacpan.org instead of cpan.org. It displays number of open bug reports and average rating on the left-hand side, as well as telling you when the module was last updated and gives you an overview of the speed at which changes are made to the module.
You can also easily see a list of dependencies on the right, so you can look for any modules in the groundwork which are less-than-stellar. It doesn't give you any data you can't get on cpan.org, but it does put it all in one place.
Obviously, if you're working on critical infrastructure, nothing is going to replace an old-fashioned code review as you need to be confident not only in the quality of your program but in your understanding of the plumbing, but those are the metrics I usually look at first.

Message from wepage popups in my yahoo email account. I need to x the box several times to unfreeze my computer. Then, it keeps popping up. And this occcurs before I even open any mail. exact message: "message from webp, then hi, then 40401508, then 1"
Any suggestion to get ride of it?
Run any anti-virus or anti-malware utility of your choosing on your computer. Follow any instructions that it provides on how to clean and remove whatever cruft is causing this. There are lots of free versions available online, but you should consider purchasing a subscription to a well-regarded utility from a reputable company. These days, browsing the Internet without protection is just asking for trouble!
If that doesn't work, the next step is backing up your important data, erasing your computer's disk, and re-installing your operating system from scratch. It sounds drastic, but it's really not all that bad. Plus, it will fix any other problems you've been having and probably speed up your machine noticeably.

I am learning about SCM - I have looked at the usual places like wiki and google. But Google Code University gives a funny description of SCM: Google Code University
It is completely void of any mention of build tools such as ANT which I thought were a key factor in SCM, has Google got it wrong?
Well, wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_configuration_management says this
In software engineering, software configuration management (SCM) is the task of tracking and controlling changes in the software. Configuration management practices include revision control and the establishment of baselines.
So that includes tools like SVN, not necessarily ANT
