Re^2: Date::Calc Install Fails

Yes, I finally found the bug reports as well (I'm new to perl). It looks like the patch only changes the 3 test files which generate errors. Seems like force install would be appropriate in this case.

As you're not using cpan to install the module, there is nothing to force :) that is cpan client command which you're not using :) just dmake install	[reply]

Ah, I didn't realize dmake install was the missing piece. I was creative in my own way: I paused the containing batch script mid flight - swapped out the 3 bad test files with ones that would pass and let it rip - it installed just fine. Funky, but it let me get past the bugs. I tried to patch the test files using gnuWin32 but it crashed - in the end I won't worry about it. Thanks for the tip.	[reply]
