Hello,

I must install some Perl scripts on a Ubuntu 12.04. These scripts use 
AFS::VOS, ... Perl modules. Ubuntu doesn't have deb packages.

I installed the libopenafs-dev package and my host is a AFS client.

I tried to install these modules avec cpan but I have errors :

# LANG=C cpan AFS::VOS
Going to read '/home/jm/.cpan/Metadata'

Running install for module 'AFS::VOS'
Running make for N/NO/NOG/AFS-2.6.3.tar.gz
Checksum for /home/jm/.cpan/sources/authors/id/N/NO/NOG/AFS-2.6.3.tar.gz ok

   CPAN.pm: Going to build N/NO/NOG/AFS-2.6.3.tar.gz

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Path to the AFS installation (libraries, binaries,
header files) to be used for this installation?       [/usr]
ERROR from evaluation of 
/home/jm/.cpan/build/AFS-2.6.3-jE1h6I/src/Makefile.PL: Invalid version

Running make test
   Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install

Could not read metadata file. Falling back to other methods to determine

Any ideas ?
