Now here is where it gets ugly.
% make Makefile:98: *** missing separator. Stop.
So I look at the makefile, and find alot of what look to be incomplete lines, unmatched quotes, etc. Makefile is listed below.
Any ideas what the problem is? I've tried this on a RedHat 9 box and a RedHat Enterprise Edition box, both manually, and with CPAN. Same results every time.

This is a known problem and has been discussed previously on this list. It's perl 5.8.0's attempt at utf8 coninciding with RH making utf8 standard. The two clash and you'll get errors.
There are several solutions: 1. Upgrade perl 2. Upgrade RedHat to Fedora (It comes with a newer perl), or 3. Install like so: LANG= export LANG perl Makefile.PL make make test make install That will get rid of RedHat trying to be utf8. You'll continue to have problems though. I'd really look at upgrading (or at least setting the LANG permanently to somthing non unicode.

Dave, is there something inherent in the DateTime distro that causes this. I've not seen this problem with other modules on RH9. Is it something we can fix from our end?
