Shouldn't that be String::Scanf? Capitalization can be important; if
not here, certainly when you use the module.

That seems quite odd. If you repeatedly get that error, I'm guessing
that maybe something (the CPAN authors file?)  didn't download
correctly. I recommend you discard the contents of your CPAN sources
directory, since that's just a download cache, and try again. The
sources directory is found within your CPAN home directory, which is
often named .cpan in your home directory.

Of course, if you can't install that module in the automated way, you
can try installing without the CPAN shell like us old timers used to
do. Somebody around here probably still remembers how to run a
Makefile.PL from the command line.... Or you can type "perldoc
perlmodinstall" at the command line and read about it.

Good luck with it!
