great. I wanted to do date comparisons. When I used Date::Calc I found it superfast (takes only seconds) while the Date::Manip is still terribly slow(takes days to process). Only problem I am finding is Date::Calc does not seem to come with default perl packages. And I am behind a corporate firewall. So I had a tough time installing the package. Finally I downloaded the zip file instead of using CPAN module . But I wonder if I am distributing this to customer, how will I install the perl Date::Calc package ? My customer is not very technical and a mere copying of this package will not work either!! Somehow I have to install it
