Esteemed monks,

I have been trying to install Data::Ical using CPAN because it is not in the current ActiveState PPM repository. Using PPM I have made sure I have all the dependencies installed, then I run the CPAN install and this is what I get.

  CPAN.pm: Going to build J/JE/JESSE/Data-ICal-0.13.tar.gz

*** Module::AutoInstall version 1.03

Looks good

Sadly, I have no clue what is going on here, can anybody offer any advice about how to get this to work? If that is possible of course!
