I am not currently using 11.2 as I would prefer to avoid being first to discover such interesting surprises, and I tend to maintain most of my Perl stuff from CPAN rather than the openSuSE repositories in any case. (Many SuSE Perl rpms do not contain current Perl module versions). However, Perl basics are fairly standard across platforms, and one would not expect major problems with a base component such as CPAN based maintenance. So I would be highly surprised if this was a 11.2 issue. However, in this case I am bit puzzled by the lack of context. the CPAN Perl maintenance bits are somewhat varied and there a number of methods getting module author info and it is rather difficult to tell whether this a usage problem or a script problem with the info given.
