Your response is great!
Being new to the environment, simple and fundamental things can be
frustrating. Your step-by-step instruction not only made it possible to
install but it gave me a clue into understanding how the perl/cpan are
structured/organized.
I just have a follow-up question. Is this the best date module or are
there more popular one?
thanks,
