problem installing perl packages

[ruud]

For a perl program I need the Math::Random, GD::Graph and
the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel package.

Installing the last two packages went fine using:

sudo apt-get install libgd-graph-perl
sudo apt-get install libspreadsheet-writeexcel-perl

However, the Math::Random package returns the following:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package libmath-random-perl

I enabled all repositories but still no luck.

Does anyone know how to get the Math::Random package installed? The cpan
command does not work because seemingly there is some gpg problem
related to the root user in ubuntu.
