What do you mean by "the DateTime version that comes with that"? DateTime is not a core module - it must always be installed from the CPAN. Therefore, it can be upgraded at any time; you are not stuck with an older version. Or are you perhaps using a linux distribution that packaged a particular version of DateTime up with the core perl installation? Can you be a bit more specific about the problems that you are seeing? If you are only imagining problems, I have a wild imagination and can imagine many, but I have enough real problems to keep me busy most of the time that I can keep my imagination safely in check. :)
