Problem with installing a module

kepler has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, I've installed in Active Perl for Win32 the DateTime-TimeZone module, Manip, and DateTime. All went well. Meanwhile, I've tested a script like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
#use LWP::Simple;

  use DateTime;
  use DateTime::TimeZone;

  my $tz = DateTime::TimeZone->new( name => 'America/Chicago' );

  my $dt = DateTime->now();
  my $offset = $tz->offset_for_datetime($dt);
  
  print $offset;
  
  exit 0;

and got the following error in Perl Builder: "Can't locate parent.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at C:/Perl/site/lib/DateTime/TimeZone/Floating.pm line 4. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/site/lib/DateTime/TimeZone/Floating.pm line 4. I'm confused; I saw line 4 in Floating.pm and all the classes are installed. Can someone help me out? Regards, Kepler

parent has been a core module since 5.10.1, which version of perl are you running and how did you instal these modules? cpan and PPM are supposed to deal with installing dependencies automatically. Update: fix typo - s/5.10/5.10.1/	[reply]

parent has been a core module since 5.10 It wasn't a core module in 5.10.0 ... but I'm not not sure if that actually contradicts your assertion ;-) Cheers, Rob	[reply]

The complaint is that parent.pm cannot be found. Install that module and all should be good. `cpan -i parent or ppm install parent` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
