tougher than it first appears

perl -MCPAN -e shell

install Date::Calc

has some dependencies as well.

to build them in an rpm, you would have to download the perl modules
from cpan, create a spec file that builds the rpm from the tarballs you
downloaded from cpan.

but even though I have installed Date::Calc, I still can't build the
rpm.
