Hi, I downloaded Time-y2038 module from following link: http://search.cpan.org/~mschwern/Time-y2038-20081106/lib/Time/y2038.pm When I un-tared this file, it is missing Makefile.PL, so I cannot install this module. Thought to inform someone... Thanks Here is some more info: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Show quoted text

There's nothing wrong with the distribution, it would seem your copy of the CPAN shell is out of date (you've been ignoring those messages that say to upgrade, haven't you?) Several years ago a new build system (Module::Build) was added that uses Build.PL instead of Makefile.PL. You probably never noticed because most Module::Build distributions ship a Makefile.PL to emulate MakeMaker. Just upgrade your CPAN shell and it should all install fine. Thanks for the report, you did the right thing in sending it. Let me know if there's further problems.

That was it; I upgraded the CPAN shell then tried installing the module, and it installed fine... Thanks for your guidance Daksh Show quoted text
