Thanks for your reply. To be more detailed, what I meant by:
"attempting to install DateTime itself via nmake etc"
was using the standard command line make sequence:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
During make test I got many results like this (Does "Can't locate loadable
object" point to a solution?):

I will ask ActiveState about a better version of the DateTime module for
their repository.
Thanks again.
