in reply to Installing DateTime

Do a perlbrew switch perl-5.16.3, and then call perl -v. You should now be running 5.16.3.

Then, cpanm DateTime, then, try running your script with the perl command: perl script.pl. Does that work?

Out of curiosity, why is it you're using 5.16? FYI, 5.24 is the most recent version.

    Thanks to you everything now works fine. It was the perlbrew switch part that I had missed. The only reason for using version 5.16.3 is that is the version my IT folks are using. Now that I know how do this I can update! Again thanks for the help. Kevin Doty
