Perl module Parse::CPAN::Authors - installation fails permanentby Perlbeginner1 (Scribe) |

Perlbeginner1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: 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! beginner1
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°?
