Re^2: Comparing two dates and finding out number of days

homework.Well I am well past homework stage. here is the deal. I am a telecommunications engineer and trying to learn how to script in perl as my manager wants me to write some scripts for him :) . I would never even ask fellow monks for code for my homework. i would love to just install Date::Simple and simplify my problem. I have tried even installing it but my PPM doesnt even detect it when i refresh. I dont know what the problem is. i used time::local and tried finding out diff between two dates in seconds but i dont know i am getting really weird answers. but i get what you said. I shall try tht..if not then God Help :)

When all else fails install manually: download the tarball decompress it, cd to the directory created, something like Date-Simple-3.02, `perl Makefile.PL` will create a make file for you, `make test` will ensure that everything is working nicely, `make all` will install the module locally in the directory you are working in, The module will now be in the blib/lib directory; copy it to your development lib directory, `use lib` on that directory, and you can `use Date::Simple`. `perl -e 'split//,q{john hurl, pest caretaker}and(map{print @_[$_]}(joi +n(q{},map{sprintf(qq{%010u},$_)}(2*23074993,51016415261,75979 +36997,13177145131,3*26789167*181))=~/\d{2}/g));'` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I have tried even installing it but my PPM doesnt even detect it when i refresh. I personally believe you may want to add some repositories to your PPM's configuration.	[reply]
