Right, that makes sense. That would indeed explain why some of these things 
would be missing.

I don't know of any other way to add perl modules? In this case, I need 
DateTime::Format::ISO8601 in order to run regtimes. And in fact, I think that's 
just the first part of the missing modules once I get past that. I certainly 
would prefer running a system which is closer to what others on this list are 
running, so that I don't have to get stuck with installing so many additional 
things. Perhaps it would help in terms of being able to get to the tests which 
are suggested when I have problems. As it stands, many of the problems I've had 
lead to more problems to resolve before I can ever get to the tests being 
suggested.

I'm pretty sure I've always picked up my ISOs from 
http://sipxecssw.org/pub/sipXecs/
So, the above aren't the same?
