I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Installation failed

I'm trying to install this module on a Macintosh, but the installation is failing. I'm using Perl 5.8.8. When I do the installation, I get multiple errors of the type:

Use of uninitialized value in ... at /Library/Perl/5.8.8/Date/Manip.pm line 3328.

I then get the following summary report:

Re: Installation failed
This is because the Date::Manip module does not know what your time zone is. Read the documentation for Date::Manip. Usually it can be fixed by setting environment variable TZ to something like EST5EDT
