Now here is a place where I think Unix perl has an advantage over MacPerl:

~(115) perl -MCPAN -e 'shell;'

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.28)
ReadLine support enabled

cpan> i Date::Format

  There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.29) available!
  You might want to try
    install CPAN
    reload cpan
  without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade
  while we are running...

Module id = Date::Format
    DESCRIPTION  Date formatter ala strftime
    CPAN_USERID  GBARR (Graham Barr)
    CPAN_VERSION 2.07
    CPAN_FILE    GBARR/TimeDate-1.07.tar.gz
    DSLI_STATUS  Rdpf (released,developer,perl,functions)
    INST_FILE    (not installed)

(BTW, I did install the newer CPAN module.)

You should substitute your favorite CPAN mirror for sunsite.auc.dk.
