Re^4: How can I add 1 hour to the current time

The DateTime method is not working. ie, In my system PPM, there is no package in "DateTime" and installed remaining packages like DateTime::TimeZone.. i have downloaded the DateTime module from CPAN. But in this package there is no MakeFile.pl. if i run the DateTime code, wil coming the error like "Can't locate DateTime.pm". Hence only i have go to alternative method for finding the current local time in London. Please provide the solution without using DateTime method. Suresh

I must have misread the question. It didn't sound anything like asking for help installing DateTime. In my system PPM, there is no package in "DateTime" ppm? So you're using ActivePerl? ActiveState's repo carries DateTime for my version. What's the output of `perl -v`? But in this package there is no MakeFile.pl. You mean `Makefile.PL`? It has `Build.PL`. You also seem to have missed the fact that it has installation instructions in `INSTALL`. Hence only i have go to alternative method for finding the current local time in London. Thank god you don't own a car. Replacing the entire car every time the tires get worn down would get expensive.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes. I am using ActivePerl version 5.8.8 build 817. Usually we run Makefile.PL when we download perl module from CPAN. but in this case, this package contains "Build.PL". What can i do for install the DateTime module? Suresh	[reply]

Use "perldoc Module::Build" , or read on the web Module::Build	[reply]

ow, 5.8 is rather old now. Specifically, both 5.8 and 5.10 are no longer supported by the Perl developers. (I don't know ActiveState's policy, though.) Are you tied to that version? You'll probably have fewer problems if you upgraded your Perl. Anyway, to install a module using Module::Build, `perl Build.PL Build Build test Build install` [download] If you do it manually like this, though, you'll have to install the prereqs yourself too.
