wanted to install module Parse::CPAN::Authors on linux. But had no luck at all!!

i run OpenSuse Linux 11.3. It has a convenient installation-guide called YAST. Well all OpenSuse guys usually advice me to prevent installation on the direct way - via CPAN - because there arenīt made any corrections between the loaded (and installed ) modules.

All the OpenSuse-Folks usually force me to use the Packet-Manager that is available in the Tool called YAST.

But anyway: i wanted to install the module with CPAN.

But - as far as i see: i have a problem. I look for the Perl module Parse::CPAN::Authors

i try to get it via YAST from here : but as far as i can see there is no such module here: the

URL=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/openSUSE_11.3/devel:languages:perl.repo.mirrorlist]see this link to the official site

i tried to install Parse-CPAN-Authors on OpenSuse Linux version 11.3 - without any luck i had a bunch of errors -

meanwhile i installed Test::Pod

i tried all - i tried to get it via CPAN and via packetmanager of the developersite: and see this site here http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/openSUSE_11.3/

what should i do!?

untill soon. AND yes: many many thanks for all the help and the support here. great site - great community - and very very supportive folks here! thx alot!

Any idea how to get it work? beginner1

BTW - if i cannot get this installed - how can i parse a whole list

of http://search.cpan.org/author/ - and the site of all the module-authors - so that i can parse the site - and get the results without the above mentioned module°?
