You didn't say which version of cpan you have, super search is your friend -> Re^4: pod2html: link (L<...>) formatting code (timeloop)
Thx, marto. I know that's not gonna quote well, but your link led to correction: choroba's response in Re^5: pod2html: link (L<...>) formatting code (timeloop). Essentially, the fix is:
rm /home/ken/.cpan/sources/authors/id/?/??/*/CHECKSUMS
Regarding Super Search, I haven't been able to make useful queries with it lately. Is that just me being Super Rusty?
Continuing:
root@laptop:~/.cpan# pwd
/root/.cpan
root@laptop:~/.cpan# ls sources/authors/id/?/??/*/CHECKSUMS
sources/authors/id/B/BL/BLIAKO/CHECKSUMS
...
sources/authors/id/C/CO/CORION/CHECKSUMS
...
sources/authors/id/D/DA/DAGOLDEN/CHECKSUMS
...
sources/authors/id/D/DC/DCANTRELL/CHECKSUMS
...
sources/authors/id/D/DR/DROLSKY/CHECKSUMS
...
sources/authors/id/M/MI/MIYAGAWA/CHECKSUMS
...
sources/authors/id/R/RU/RURBAN/CHECKSUMS
sources/authors/id/S/SA/SALVA/CHECKSUMS
Those are certainly the usual suspects, and when I have a problem implementing software with such names on it, I strongly suspect that the problem is local, either on my machine or between my ears. Proceeding:
root@laptop:~/.cpan# rm sources/authors/id/?/??/*/CHECKSUMS
root@laptop:~/.cpan# ls sources/authors/id/?/??/*/CHECKSUMS
ls: cannot access 'sources/authors/id/?/??/*/CHECKSUMS': No such file
+or directory
root@laptop:~/.cpan# cpan
Alles klar...und...
cpan[1]> install Astro::SIMBAD::Client
I went over this install very closely, reading many of the sources:
The simbadc script is a simple wrapper for Astro::SIMBAD::Client, whic
+h
may be used interactively or as a Unix filter.
>>>> NOTICE <<<<
As of version 0.032_01 the simbadc script is installed by default. If
you do not wish it installed. run this script with the -n option. The
+-y
option is still accepted for backward compatibility.

Q1) How can I repeat the tests in a comprehensive fashion?
I stepped through one of the tests in the debugger:
DB<1> n

main::(basic.t:8): require_ok 'Astro::SIMBAD::Client'
main::(basic.t:9): or BAIL_OUT q{Can't do much testing if can't

+
ok 1 - require Astro::SIMBAD::Client;
main::(basic.t:12): my $smb = Astro::SIMBAD::Client->new ();
DB<1> n
+
main::(basic.t:14): ok $smb, 'Instantiate Astro::SIMBAD::Client'
main::(basic.t:15): or BAIL_OUT "Test aborted: $@";
DB<1> n
+
ok 2 - Instantiate Astro::SIMBAD::Client
main::(basic.t:17): is $smb->get( 'debug' ), 0, 'Initial debug sett
+ing is 0';
DB<1> n

ok 3 - Initial debug setting is 0
main::(basic.t:19): $smb->set( debug => 1 );

Debugged program terminated. Use q to quit or R to restart,
use o inhibit_exit to avoid stopping after program termination,
h q, h R or h o to get additional info.

I lengthened Tom's one-liner to a lexical script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use v5.030;
use Astro::SIMBAD::Client;
use Data::Dumper;
my $s = Astro::SIMBAD::Client->new;
my @q = split /\n/, $s->url_query( id => Ident => "$ARGV[0]", NbIdent
+=> 1 );
my @r = grep /ICRS/, @q;
print Dumper(@r);
#print Dumper(@q);
Output with various choices of ARGV, and a few (edited) runs dumping @q:
Finally, while I am writing up this simbad install project with what I'm calling success, the site and the client that gets it seem to be going just fine SOAP or no SOAP. (I still don't know what that is.) marto was completely correct that the interface had nothing to do with the problem reported. This is how you get this info with your browser:
https://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=betelgeuse&submit=su
+bmit+id
or betelgeuse.
