I've been told by my ISP that they have uninstalled the Date::Calc module for 'security reasons'. This smacks of bullshit to me. Has anyone ever heard of a vulnerability in such a bog standard PERL module?

You can still install Date::Calc locally, and use thjeuse lib directive.
Who's your ISP btw?
There is allegedly a bug, which can cause undesired effects when installing some SSL packages, but I wouldn't call that a security vulnerability

Thanks, Paul. I can't tell you the ISP at the moment (know what I mean?) but I'll let you know once it's all over.
Can you explain a little more about installing the module locally? I'm not running PERL on my PC and I'm at the mercy of the muvvafukka ISP!
Thanks again.
Phil.
