Bob, No, it is not vapor ware. It exists. I had to search CPAN for it and found it http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/ and had to manually install it using "perl Makefile.PL; nmake; nmake test; nmake install;" and that works. It just takes an enourmous amount of time to search for all these modules specified in the bugzilla installation instructions and to figure out how to install them.
Chart was another weird one. After having the command perl -MCPAN -e'install "N/NI/NINJAZ/Chart-0.99b.tar.gz"' I had to manually figure out the temporary directory it was using as a scratch pad and issue the following commands before it would install: cd C:\cygwin\home\Administrator\.cpan\build\Chart-0.99b perl Makefile.PL nmake nmake test nmake install What determines if a modules is going to be available with ppm? Ppm sure makes things easier but for the bugzilla project, it only works with about 50% of the required modules.

Check out http://perl.plover.com/Questions4.html Also, even if you fix the syntax, Date::Time appears to be vaporware.
