OOPS! My bad. Should be with a -e like in the script.

OK well the logic on the perl line has an order. I just tried a test
and what is happening is if the Date::Calc module is there don't do the
(anonymous) sub/function.
perl -e 'use Date::Calc' || { echo hello; }
does nothing.
perl -e 'use Date::XXX' || { echo hello; }
gets
Can't locate Date/XXX.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

So the script is saying if the Date::Calc module is _missing_ then set
stuff up to run and run pflogsumm.pl
From my copy of pflogsumm there is these lines
=head1 REQUIREMENTS
Pflogsumm requires the Date::Calc module, which can be obtained from
CPAN at http://www.perl.com.
The logic seems backwards. I think you should try changing the logic
from an 'or (||)' to an 'and (&&)'
# perl -e 'use Date::Calc;' 2>/dev/null || {
perl -e 'use Date::Calc;' 2>/dev/null && {
\\||/
