in reply to Module Failures

Date::Calc and its prerequisite Bit::Vector both load extension routines from dll's. On my system the path to the Date::Calc dll is site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux-thread-multi/auto/Date/Calc/Calc.so.

To install the module under oppressive circumstances, you must discover the compiler, os, processor, and build flags for perl on the host. 'perl -V' will tell you that, but it sounds like you'll need to cobble up a cgi to tell you the results. Then use that info to build the modules and copy all their installed components over to the host.

Yes, it's tricky and a nuisance. I'd advise getting a better host.

    Ack. Having such limited resources...is there any alternate method to do this, such as other modules that would do the job?

    I hate my job.

      Date::Manip is pure Perl. It can do anything Date::Calc can. But you cannot use it as a drop in replace for Date::Calc, so if the other module depends on Date::Calc, you need to replace that module as well.

        I'm using HTML::CalendarMonthSimple, which depends on Date::Calc. Is there an equivilent that utilizes Date::Manip?
