Hi Ron,

Thank you very much, that was absolutely FANTASTIC SUPPORT.

It's done and WORKING. :-) :-) Bugzilla looks WAY prettier without the stack of warnings...

I have been stuck on this problem basically for days with Dave Rolsky - thinking it's the DateTime package to update ! (hence cpan, c compiler from .NET, and lots of messy C header files which were missing... brrr...)

Thanks again,

Eva

Hi Eva,

What version of perl are you running? I have created a ppd
with:

G:\modules\Time-Local>perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.3 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread.
version of perl.

However, you should be able to install the module without
using a c compiler. What you need is the nmake utility

Download and extract the Time::Local distribution from
CPAN.

then open a dos window and do this

G:\modules\Time-Local>perl makefile.pl
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

G:\modules\Time-Local>

This should do the trick.

I hope this helps
