perl modules failing to install

I'm an Arch newbie and I'm relearning perl.

I'm not sure what the best way to install modules is. I've been trying cpanm.

any help appreciated.

P.S. --force doesn't get any different results and verbose gives no errors either. Not all modules fail but I'm trying to get an example program to run and I'm stuck in dependancy hell.

Thanks

Re: perl modules failing to install

Are these modules available as packages in the AUR or in the repos?
