DateTime::TimeZone, unfound pm files

[yourkeylady]

I thought I would use DateTime::TimeZone to get the local times when given a past UTC time for input.

But I get *.pm files not found.

I downloaded it with ppm.

The ppm program reported the install was good.

It should not have the trouble of finding sub modules.

I'm not sure how to get it to function.

Thanks

Well considering DateTime::TimeZone has well over enough sub-modules to totally fill my command prompt window for ppm, it might help more if you tell us which .pm file it says is missing.

try a reinstall of the module.

My problem is when I search for DateTime/Duration.pm it is there.

It looks like you'll have to install this module manually, without PPM.

For most pure Perl modules, you can just copy the .pm files from CPAN distributions into your Perl lib (hopefully you caught on by now that "/" in the filename is "::" in the module name, DateTime/Duration.pm = DateTime:uration)

http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?DateTime::Duration

So if you save the PM to your Perl/site/lib/DateTime/Duration.pm, it should work.

I moved all the files up one directory but that didn't work.
Isn't the @INC array the same in the require and use of sub files?

If the directory is in @INC I don't see why I have to move the files. I thought maybe it was the directory separators so I changed those.

@INC (c:/perl/site/lib/DateTime C:/perl/site/lib/ActiveState C:\perl\site\lib\ActiveState C:/perl/lib C:/perl/site/lib )
