Now here is where it gets ugly.

% make

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?


Cheers!
