I haven't ever had a system as you've described so I can't comment. You
may have needed to recompile it if you're running Perl 5.8.

http://search.cpan.org
Search for Date::Manip.
It comes up first.
Other modules that come up that might help are:
Date::Transform
Time::Format
Date::Parse
Date::Format
Maybe one of these will help you. Date::Manip the certainly the most
popular one though.
