How to install perl modulesEver called a perl script and got this? Can't locate Regexp/Common.pm in @INC (@INC contains: SCRIPT /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at SCRIPT line 18. Well, use zypper: [email protected]#STABLE>sudo zypper in -C 'perl(Regexp::Common)' The following NEW package is going to be installed: Easy, no?

better example
Most modules follow the convention of packaging Foo::Bar in perl-Foo-Bar, but the above trick is really useful for those that don't:
$ rpm -q --whatprovides 'perl(Locale::gettext)'
perl-gettext-1.05-73
thanks for the tip!

... if there's a package available
This only works, of course, if there's actually a package avilable on an enabled repository for the module you want to install. (I found this out recently when I tried to get Number::Format.)
