I downloaded the tar file. But I couldn't find out how to install it from the README. From the various info in the readme I was able to install the .pm files but not the xs. The Date class look like it's working but it keeps showing the message about the XS part warning. The Date.xs is sitting in my tmp dir. I looks like a C type of file.
So, please tell me how to install it.
Sounds like it could be a C library that is being used. There might be instructions with it on how to install, otherwise read on.
fyi, I've never installed a cpan or any perl package, if there is such a thing.
CPAN is Perl's package manager (among other things). It is the absolute easiest way to install a Perl module. I would suggest you type at the command line (you may need root/sudo access):
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Class::Date'
CPAN will probably ask all kinds of questions to set up initially. Answer as best you can. Then it will go get the current version of the module, check to see if you have any dependencies, then compile/install as needed and appropriate.
Then you don't have to worry about all this.
