installing f-prot anti-virus

Hi,
I'm trying to install the f-prot anti-virus package. When I try it tells me that

Updating virus signature files ...
Error: Unable to include perl module: 'HTTP::Request'.
Please install this module and try re-running this script.
(Hint: man CPAN)

The man CPAN page leaves me clueless about what to do when I read it.

Any ideas what to do next??

Re: installing f-prot anti-virus

you could run "pacman -Ss perl | grep http" and install the missing package.

Re: installing f-prot anti-virus

Ah, but I tried that.  I get;

# pacman -Ss perl | grep http
community/perl-http-cache-transparent 0.6-1
    A perl module that caches the result of http get-requests persistently

I installed it (before I posted) but I still get the same result??

Correct, mmccaskill - and that's provided by the perl-libwww package in [extra]. pacman will sort you out.
