Howdy all,
I'm doing some work that requires some Date calculations. Date::Calc seems to be what I need. I'm using Activestate Perl 5.6.1 on Windows NT. I've downloaded the precompiled binary from Activestate. I installed it per their instructions. (it no longer croaks on the use Date::Calc;)
When I try to run my scripts, but get this error:
Undefined subroutine &main::check_date called at test2.pl line 4.

here is the script I am trying to run, I've simplified it a bit to eliminate any errors caused by unrelated issues:
use strict;
use Date::Calc;

check_date("2000","05","30");

Any suggestions, debuggin tips, good recipes, amusing jokes?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
