Funnily enough, it was a date module: DateTime::Format::Mail . I just
wanted to be able to parse the Date: header in emails for sorting into
different folders. After much messing about, I gave up when it wanted
libgmp.so.10 . I do have libgmp but it's the wrong version apparently.
So I just regexed for the common (correct) format and a few lines of
logic took care of it with a manual cleanup on what was left (mostly
spam as it turns out).
On debian, I mostly try and use the package manager to install Perl
modules but this is Slackware so I'm on my own pretty much.

This is directly related to the fact that your script CAN be so short
because it is using so many precoded libraries. If you didn't have
these libraries to depend on, your script wouldn't be short. One
solution I have often found is to review the Perl Module in question
and determine if I should be using it or if I should be using
something else or just coding it myself. If you look at the
Date::Manip perl module documentation, you will see the following:
SHOULD I USE DATE::MANIP
If you look in CPAN, you'll find that there are a number of Date and Time
packages. Is Date::Manip the one you should be using? In my opinion, the
answer is no most of the time. This sounds odd coming from the author of
the software, but read on.
Date::Manip is written entirely in perl. It's the most powerful of the
date modules. It's also the biggest and slowest.

See the POD file yourself if you want to read the rest.
Basically, even the author of the module recommends using a different
module most of the time.
