If you install the module via the CPAN shell, you should specify the nome of the module, not the one of the package :

cpan> install Crypt::CipherSaber

But at 'make' time, Sympa also proposes to install this module for you...

http://www.sympa.org/doc/html/node4.html#SECTION00410000000000000000 says:

Passwords in Sympa database can be crypted ; therefore you need to install the following reversible cryptography library :

    * CipherSaber


If i try to install it:

cpan> install CipherSaber
Warning: Cannot install CipherSaber, don't know what it is.
