in thread NET::SMTP on 64 bit

Ok, I received this not from the developer doing the Perl install of Net::SMTP on the 64 bit Linux server. 
perl  -MCPAN -e 'install Net::SMTP'

[download]
I got the “don't know what it is.” warning

I also tried (NET was used in one of our earlier emails even though Net::SMTP was installed on the dev server):

After looking up the names of the 2 authors (Graham Barr gbarr@pobox.com andSteve Hay shay@cpan.org): 

perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'
cpan[1]> ls gbarr  (Net::SMTP was not in his list…Net::TFTP, Net::SNPP
+ and Net::PH were listed)
cpan[3]> ls shay (Net::SMTP was not in his list, nothing with Net was 
+listed)

[download]
Searching for the module: 
cpan[10]> m Net::SMTP
No objects of type Module found for argument Net::SMTP

[download]
And, I tried this just in case: 
cpan[11]> m NET::SMTP
No objects of type Module found for argument NET::SMTP

[download]
Is there any other commands that we should run to install the Net::SMTP on the 64 bit server?

        Hmmmm. That's more than a decade old, which in IT terms is practically pre-cambrian. Have you considered upgrading?
