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working application and the indicated version numbers are the only ones that are known to work or (b) the site has got out of date.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). > ++++++++++++++++/GPRS_Easy_Connect_301 #perl -MCPAN -e 'install Gtk2' > * > * > * > CPAN.pm: Going to build T/TS/TSCH/Gtk2-1.144.tar.gz > > *** can not find package gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0 > *** check that it is properly installed and available in PKG_CONFIG_PATH > at Makefile.PL line 67 > Running make test > Make had some problems, maybe interrupted?

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.
