Unfortunately the underlying issue is a little worse (at least with
10.2). Try running cpan -O and you will begin to understand the problem.
Many of the SuSE 10.2 Perl module RPMs from packman are badly out of
date. The SuSE Perl stuff is a bit better but still lags (as would be
expected).

Only spotted problem when SuSE servers were down and was checking out
what I thought were issues with a Perl Module to find that my current
version of the module was 2 major releases out of sync.

I think in future I will probably maintain my Perl stuff from CPAN. (The
nuisance is that for compiled Perl modules one needs to install the
devel RPMs relevant to the module).
