in reply to How to Install Date::Calc

If you're installing by hand, running Makefile.PL is just the first step. Running Makefile.PL will generate a Makefile, which allows you to do "make", "make test" and "make install".

But this is all explained in the INSTALL.txt file that comes with Date::Calc.

    If you're running ActiveState Perl or something else with ppm support, the fastest thing to do is add the Bribes or Trouchelle repositories to your list, and then ppm install date-calc or use the graphical installer to select and install.

      Likely an elementary question for you guys but here goes... I typed in ppm and got the graphical installer and selected Date::Calc and the other couple of modules it required. I'm using Komodo and the line use Date::Calc; not longer gets underlined with a red line saying it can't find the module. When I try running my CGI application it throws a Software Error saying : "Can't locate Date/Calc.pm in @INC....". I'm currently doing a search to find the Calc.pm file but if it's in another directory how can I move it into Perl/lib directory? Any additional steps other than copy/paste? If this isn't preferred what's the easiest way to leave it where it is? I'm using ActiveState's PerlApp application to compile my .pl CGI application so I'm not sure if it would "bundle" the Date::Calc if I just added whatever directory it's in to @ISA. Thanks for the help so far and I'd appreciate even more on the added questions. Rob
