hi dave,
thanx for the insight. particularly, the pointer around identifying how
'supported' a module appears to be
last nite, i finished retiring my use of Thread::Running, in favor of
other 'thread' modules, thus side-stepping this 'load.pm' issue

how do i trouble-shoot this? conceptually, what is Thread::Running

Note this error message is coming from load.pm, which is _not_ being
used by DateTime. Apparently, this is something Thread::Running uses,
and it's apparently breaking module loading.
I note that load.pm has one negative review about not installing or
working with Perl 5.8.7. It's been 18 months since the last release, and
nearly 3 years since the last Thread::Running release.
My conclusion is that these modules are broken somehow, and not really
supported any longer. I'd suggest looking into fixing them, or exploring
an alternate solution. I know there are a number of actively maintained
thread-related solutions on CPAN.
