But you can't run the tests without DT.pm. I think
that is what he is referring to.
I would once again suggest including exclusively those portions of DT::TZ in the 
DT distribution that are required to sucessfully test DT.  They can be installed 
as is, so that DT is not *per se* dependent on DT::TZ, with a strong warning 
that the full DT::TZ is required for full functionality.  Then the DT::TZ module 
could be made dependent on DT, so that both modules can be tested as fully as 
their tests allow.  This would make both CPAN and ActiveState happy, I think.

Unfortunately there are no logs for DT or DT-TZ.

But DT::TZ installs normally without DT.pm being installed, so I don't
know what the problem is.

Sure, but it's kind of low on my to-do list.

If you do write a script, can you send me a copy?

Yes I agree! I would be willing to write something
just as soon as we can build DateTime.pm on Windows :)

I'd have to write a script to automatically grab the CVS stuff, but I
suppose it's possible.

The links on datetime.perl.org are for PPDs, which are rapidly aging.  I'm
considering removing them since they're so out of date.  I think we need a
script to generate those as well.

I use Windows/VC-- (shudder) in my day job, but SourceForge is down for their

I give up in the sense of "patches welcome", but I don't have any idea
what the problem is, so it's going to take someone who actually
understands Windows to fix this.

Try removing the "ifdef _HPUX_SOURCE" part entirely.

Oh, Dave please don't give up. We need this for all Platforms
Otherwise, modules that use recurences will fail horribly!
(like mine). This is the reason I need to install the latest
DateTime.pm module, So I can test my module.
I can't even get it to work on HPUX :(

I guess I have to bite the bullet and try on AIX :(

ARGH!

I give up.  Someone else is going to have to fix this on Windows at this
point, or maybe I'll just disable these tests on Win32.
