in thread Something wrong with metacpan.org?

That's normal behaviour, distributions usually have names different to the modules they contain. A colon is not permitted in file names in MSWin32, so you can't name your distribution archive Astro::Montenbruck-1.26.tgz.

Cf. my Syntax::Construct.

The ExtUtils find is weird, though: 

perl -MExtUtils::Installed -MData::Dumper -le 'print Dumper(ExtUtils::
+Installed->new->files("Syntax::Construct"))'
$VAR1 = '/home/choroba/perl5/lib/perl5/Syntax/Construct.pm';
$VAR2 = '/home/choroba/perl5/man/man3/Syntax::Construct.3pm';

perl -MExtUtils::Installed -MData::Dumper -le 'print Dumper(ExtUtils::
+Installed->new->files("Syntax-Construct"))'
Syntax-Construct is not installed at -e line 1.

    The ExtUtils find is weird

    I've never ever had to use a dash instead of colons to find a module with ExtUtils::Installed. I think that since Astro::Montenbruck can be found by ExtUtils with a dash, and not found with the usual colons, suggests that the author put a dash in some config file where there should have been colons. I tried the dash out of desperation and was shocked that it worked.

    Perhaps this is related to the failure to install the scripts?
