Date::Calc is not Date::Format. Maybe you want(ed) to install ~~`libdate-format-perl`~~ `libtimedate-perl` in addition? Before reinstalling, it is a good choice to keep track of the installed packages. For Debian (derivatives), the Debian wiki has Instructions for Listing Installed Packages. Update Date::Format lives in TimeDate, so the Debian package might be `libtimedate-perl`. At least a cursory search confirms this.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
