Bug #12166 for DateTime-Format-IBeat: Need assistance

Subject:	Need assistance

Earl I have tried so many time to run Makefile. PL and I always get the same results. I believe my version of perl may be corrupt or I am in a black out drive mode and can not see what I am overlooking. O am overwhelmed here at work with 6 systems and trying to get swatch to run. If you can give my some quick advice and work around I will have to do this in the wee hours of the morning when no one is around to bother me. Here is what I am getting when I am in the DateTiem-Format-Ibeat-0.161 dir # perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Warning: prerequisite DateTime 0.18 not found at /opt/perl5/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 373. Warning: prerequisite Test::More 0.47 not found at /opt/perl5/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 373. Ambiguous use of ${pack} resolved to $pack at /opt/perl5/lib/Carp/Heavy.pm line 137. Ambiguous use of ${pack} resolved to $pack at /opt/perl5/lib/Carp/Heavy.pm line 138. Missing $ on loop variable at /opt/perl5/lib/Carp/Heavy.pm line 141. Here is what I get when I run the Makefile. PL from the swatch dir # cd swatch-3.1.1 # perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete...

This means that you do not have the modules installed that this module needs to run. Consultation of the documentation, in particular the file called INSTALL, would be advantageous. Show quoted text

to run. I had never heard of "swatch" until you just mentioned it. Having downloaded it from SourceForge to investigate, I can find no relation between it and my module. Consequently I am at a loss to why you are connecting it to me. The documentation for "switch" also clearly explains about Perl module dependencies. Show quoted text

Success is also dependent on reading the documentation.
