in reply to Alternative to POSIX::strptime

What are you trying to install? There shouldn't be any need to install anything.

POSIX.pm has been a part of the standard Perl installation since the earliest versions of Perl 5. If you have Perl 5 installed then you already have POSIX.pm and therefore POSIX::strptime.

    The 5.10.0 POSIX module doesn't look like it supplies strptime: 
    % perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.0 built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
[...]

% perl -MPOSIX=strptime
"strptime" is not exported by the POSIX module
Can't continue after import errors at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/POSIX.pm line
+ 28
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

% perl -MPOSIX -le 'print POSIX->VERSION'
1.13

      You're right. POSIX has never included strptime. It includes strftime. I apologise for being confused by the original question :-)
