in thread cpanm says OK but module not really installed

Sure this will put things in the right place, but even running the example code from the POD results in an error, while testers lists some 'success', it isn't looking good:

use Astro::SpaceElevator; my $elevator = Astro::SpaceElevator->new(0, 120, 100_000, time()); print "The elevator leaves the Earth's shadow at " . ($elevator->shado +ws->{Earth}{penumbra})[1] . "km above the base.\n";

returns

Too many arguments at /usr/local/share/perl/5.26.1/Astro/SpaceElevator +.pm line 204.
# first we check to see if the sun has risen over the base station +. my (undef, $elevation, undef) = $base->azel($sun, 1); # line 204

    Digging deeper, Astro::SpaceElevator (from 2007), was broken by deprecation of the two-argument form of azel in Astro::Coord::ECI in 2013 (replaced by azel_offset in 2011).

    Provide an Astro::Coord::ECI azel_offset() method, which takes, as its
    optional second argument, an offset applied to the elevation, in
    terms of the apparent radius of the body whose position is being
    calculated. The two-argument version of the azel() method is now
    deprecated, and will begin warning in the first release after March
    1 2012.

    Deprecations:
     
      * The two-argument form of azel() is now fatal.

    azel is a method of Astro::Coords::ECI that only takes one arg (the object $sun). However due to the nature of the code and the extra arg I suspect he meant to call azel_offset, where the "1" refers to the upper limb of the sun, to compute sunrise:

    my (undef, $elevation, undef) = $base->azel_offset($sun, 1); # line 20 +4
