Linux SLE11 SPC3 Mail::IMAPClient

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]

    Loading repository data...

    'perl(MAIL::IMAPClient)' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
    No provider of 'perl(MAIL::IMAPClient)' found.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
