 Can you provide us with the error?

 Are you sure you are using perl 5.8.0 (output from perl -v?)

C:\Documents and Settings\clmperl -v

This is perl, v5.8.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

 Do you have all of the dependencies installed? Was the error
 depencencies failed?
 here is a list of what is required.

 Class-Factory-Util
 DateTime-TimeZone
 Params-Validate
 Test-More
 Time-Local

I know the dependencies should be handled automatically, but I tried to
install these myself before installing DateTime.  I get the same error,
though, on trying to install DateTime-TimeZone, Params-Validate or
Test-More.  The other packages installed ok.

Thanks,

Hi Cameron,

 
 Hi everyone.
 
 I just tried to install DateTime in Windows with ppm but it 
 crashed ppm. 
   This is what I did:
 
ppm repository add 'DateTime Repository' \
   http://datetime.perl.org/download/5.8.0
ppm install DateTime
 
 and then ppm crashes with some perl error (I can't remember the error 
 right now; when I boot Windows again I'll copy it if needed).

Can you provide us with the error? Are you sure you are using
perl 5.8.0 (output from perl -v?)

 
 Is there something I'm doing wrong?  Is this a known problem? 
  Can I get 
 around it?

I hope this helps.
