Monks:

I am trying to pull data out of an NCSA formatted Logfile from an IIS4 server using Perl(v 5.6.1) and the Logfile Module(v 0.300) which I downloaded from CPAN. My code, based on examples from the documentation and from "Data Munging with Perl" is pretty basic:

use strict;
use LogFile::Base;
use LogFile::Apache;
use LogFile::NCSA;
my $log = new Logfile::NCSA File => 'C:\\nc030805.log',
                                    Group => [qw(Host User Date )];
$log->report(Group => 'Host User Date');

[download]
When I try to run it, though, it dies on line 5 with the following error

Undefined subroutine &Time::String::to_time called...Logfile/Base.pm line 281,<fh001>

I've run it with a debugger, and it goes along nicely until it hits that section of code in Base.pm which is a Date parsing routine. My variables appear to be traversing through the code, with @_ containing the entry from my logfile, and $_, $1 and $2 being undef.

Since this is a chunk of code from the module, I think it's out of my control, and I'm stumped. I've done super search, and looked around and don't know what to do next. Would any of you have any idea what's causing this error and what should I do to fix it?
