guys,

thanks so much for your replies. These look helpful. I will let you know how I get on. Ideally, I will be able to use that code to add another field to the table and be off and running.

many thanks again, from a first time perl user. Tim

Guys, sorry to be a pain, but I'm having trouble installing the POSIX strptime module. I'm using a windows machine at work and trying to use Perl Package Manager to find the module. (It wasn't there). So, I've downloaded the strptime module from here (http://search.cpan.org/~gozer/POSIX-strptime-0.05/lib/POSIX/strptime.pm) I've unpacked the folders in c:Perl64/site/lib and c:Perl64/lib, but my perl script is still not seeing that package. It is saying: can't locate loadable object for module POSIX::strptime in @INC... any advice would be gratefully recieved. Thanks Tim	[reply]

That's not how you install modules. Please install POSIX::strptime through the `cpan` tool: `>cpan POSIX::strptime` [download] Also review A Guide to Installing Modules, which should work with Strawberry Perl without much changes (mostly `dmake` instead of `make`) A guide to installing modules for Win32, for ActiveState Perl, until you install the MinGW package in ActiveState Perl. Then, the other, direct `cpan` approach should work for you too.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
