Hi guys,

  I'm still a relative newbie, but I'm having a problem
installing DateTime...  I tried to install via cpan but got an
error so popped out to the directory to try manually...  Here's
what I get:

This is on Redhat Linux 9, perl 5.8.0 on i386.
Ken, I was getting the same problem. It's something to do with the 
way they tries to get perl to do Unicode at the same time that RedHat 
went to unicode.

The fix is to set
LANG=
before running perl Makefile.PL
That will pull you out of unicode and thus you'll not get the weird 
extra quotes. I think there's more info if you look further back in 
the archive.

Cheers!

P.S. I've now permanently pulled unicode out of RedHat: didn't need 
it and it was being a pain in the arse. Once it's there and I don't 
notice it, I'll leave it there! RH10 may be better. I haven't looked.
