When finally attempting to install DateTime itself via nmake etc, I get
multiple multiple failures.
Could you be more specific?
When attempting to install it via ppm, it fails with this message: Error installing package 'datetime': Read a PPD for 'datetime', but it is not in tended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread).
That means that Activestate hasn't got a version of DateTime for Win32, but they do for some other platform (probably Linux). It's a really stupid error message.
Most of the ppm's that Activestate maintains are done so automatically, so if there is any problem whatsoever, in any dependency, they don't always go back and see what was the problem.
