If you use CPAN or CPANPLUS to install > DateTime, it will tell you that you need these prereqs anyway.
The first few versions of Bundle::DateTime left out those prereqs. As a result, the bundle was difficult to install for the first time: I can't remember exactly what happened, but DateTime couldn't be installed first time round because of its prereqs; the prereqs were installed; then CPAN first tried to install all other modules in Bundle::DateTime before installing DateTime itself, and each installation failed of course... The best solution seemed to be to include the prereqs in the Bundle. Eugene
