Attempting to follow xmath's advice and try myself. Unfortunately, I'm out of my league with xs compilation errors. (I can build Date::Calc, so it's not an environment problem.)

Are there compiler options I'm missing?

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
