Linux SLE11 SPC3 Mail::IMAPClient

Question

i am trying to get the imapclient on my OS but it wont work. I added the perl repository like so:

     zypper ar -f -n perl http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/SLE_11_SP2 Perl

and i get the right output where it says the repository is added.

but when i use zypper to add the imapclient like this

    zypper install -y "perl(MAIL::IMAPClient)"

I get:

    zypper install -y "perl(MAIL::IMAPClient)"
    Refreshing service 'susecloud'.
    Retrieving repository 'perl' metadata [done]
    Building repository 'perl' cache [done]
    Retrieving repository 'perl' metadata [error]
    Repository 'perl' is invalid.
    [|] Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s)
    Please check if the URIs defined for this repository are pointing to a valid 
    repository.

    Loading repository data...
    Reading installed packages...
    'perl(MAIL::IMAPClient)' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
    No provider of 'perl(MAIL::IMAPClient)' found.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
