How to install the perl DateTime module under CentOS8. yum install "perl(DateTime)" worked in CentOS7 but not in 8

There are some Perl modules that could previously be installed with: yum install "perl(DateTime)" Under CentOS7. In CentOS8 I get the error:

No match for argument: perl(DateTime)

I have the same problem for perl(Template), perl(YAML::XS), perl(Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt) and perl(JSON::XS)

I tried searching with:

yum provides *DateTime*

But I can't find anything there either.

perl-DateTime is no longer part of the CentOS 8 base OS. You'll need to enable the PowerTools repository, i.e. as root

# yum config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
# yum update
# yum repolist
repo id                     repo name                                     status
...
PowerTools                  CentOS-8 - PowerTools                         ...
...

# yum install "perl(DateTime)"

or...

# yum install perl-DateTime

perl(YAML::XS) (AKA perl-YAML-LibYAML) should also be available.

perl(Template) (AKA perl-Template-Toolkit) and perl(Crypt::Eksblowfish::Bcrypt) (AKA perl-Crypt-Eksblowfish) no longer seem to be provided, not even in EPEL8. So you'll have to install them from CPAN.
