I got this module to build for me :) I did have a problem building ExtUtils-ParseXS on 5.6.1 & 5.8.0 (if I remember correctly) But this was fixed when 5.8.1 was released. This was the reason I never generated PPM's for perl 5.6.1 As it stands right now I can build DateTime for perl 5.8.3 without problems. Does this mean the the modules will run on 5.8.0?

( Module-Build or makemaker)It sure would make installing DateTime modules much simpler.

I am currently using it (see above) Thanks Ron
