Had need to reinstall Ubuntu 12.04. Have Perl programs I have used for a very long time. They use the libdate-calc-perl for Date::Format and Date::Calc apparnatly. Synaptic shows libdate-calc-perl to be installed.

When I run the program I get the following:

Can't locate Date/Format.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at GasProg line 9. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at GasProg line 9.

Date/Format.pm is not present. Should be in /usr/share/perl5.

The program runs fine on another machine.

I compared items in directory items and found many items missing in the following items: /usr/share/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 (No such file or directory) /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5

Would it be wise to remove perl and later do a fresh install?
