it should be available in contrib/backports

can you (or someone else) please  have a look to previous msg to get the
correct invocation and report if it works?

you mean pkgcpan.mageia.org?
maybe that's a bit too restrictive to use a subdomain per need. i
propose sthg such as:

    perl.mageia.org/files/
    perl.mageia.org/pkgcpan/
    www.mageia.org/perl/

having a perl.mageia.org might be a good idea. this might even motivate
me to work on some perl on mageia advertisement... but later on! :-)

thanks,
