#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use DateTime;

my $now = DateTime->now;

[download]

-------------------------------------------------

When I attempt to run the program I get to following:

$ perl perltest.pl 'regex' validation parameter for 'DateTime::from_epoch must be a string or qr// regex at /usr/local/lib64/perl5/DateTime.pm line 486 DateTime::from_epoch(undef, 'epoch', 1301690690) called at /usr/local/lib64/perl5/DateTime.pm line 511 DateTime::now('DateTime') called at perltest.pl line 6

----------------------------------------------------------

I attempted to look at the DateTime.pm file, but I couldn't see the problem in from_epoch().

I have used this module on a different server before with success. On the new server (redhat 6.0) DateTime installed from CPAN without a fuss, but I can't use it.

Please let me know if I have done anything incorrectly, I am a first time poster here and would be grateful for any help as googling this issue has brought information.

This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 3 (v5.12.3) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

DateTime is up to date (0.66).

perl -le'use Params::Validate; print Params::Validate->VERSION'

0.95
