Looking on CPAN, 1.081 isn't there. The changelog says it was an
unstable release, so I guess they've removed it. So your situation is
complicated, sadly.

The indicated release is quite old and was unstable, so it's possible
that either (a) it was a real nightmare to build a working application
and the indicated version numbers are the only ones that are known to
work or (b) the site has got out of date.

So one possibility is to ask the authors for advice. I see there's a
forum for GPRS_Easy_Connect, so I'd suggest asking there.

Ordinarily I would suggest trying to build it anyway with the latest
releases and just see whether it works. But I happen to be working with
Gtk2 myself at present and I know first-hand that installing the module
can be a pain. So in this case I'd suggest trying the Suse package
perl-Gtk2 in YaST, which is a reasonably recent version though not
absolutely up-to-date. (I'm assuming you're on Suse 10.2 from the gtk+
version number you give below).

Yeah, I said Gtk2 was a pain! I have to say that this isn't a problem
I've seen with it, though. The problems I've had are masses of
dependencies, some failing tests, and some methods in the modules that
don't seem to work as advertised. Hence my suggestion to use YaST for
this package.

There don't seem to be Suse packages for the two modules you originally
asked about though, so probably it has to be CPAN for those.

But I'd really recommend going on their forum and seeing what other
people have done and what the authors recommend. That's most likely to
be the easiest way to get a working version.

Cheers, Dave
