Hi Troy, It is missing for the moment, and I am tracking it down as we speak -- I responded to this on perl-win32-users recently too, so sorry to anyone who is reading this twice -- due to taking care of an unfortunate bug in some compiled modules on our repositories, we took down the bugged versions and we're swapping in nice fresh new unbugged PPMs. The bug, which was also detailed on the other mailing list, is that some PPMs were linking to MSVCR71.dll rather than MSVCRT.dll. Most people won't notice this; MSVCR71.dll comes with the .NET Framework v1.1, and more Windows users (especially devs) tend to have that installed than not. However, it makes redistribution of Perl apps a little bit more of an (unintentional) pain. Date-Calc will be back on the repositories by tomorrow night (Vancouver time) at the latest; in the meantime, you should be able to track down a PPM via Randy Kobes' handy listings, e.g. at the bottom of this page: http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/Date-Calc We don't officially support any third-party code or repositories, but it generally works out pretty well; Randy's site is well-kept. Again, sorry for the (hopefully-brief) outage. -- Mike Gillis Languages Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] ActiveState Software http://www.activestate.com/languages _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
