Hi all,
I am reinstalling the Links 2.0 script into another server. Unfortunately I am finding that this server is not accepting certain variables in the Links.cfg

I have no problems with Adding New Categories,
Unfortunately when trying to add a new link I get the following server message.

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : fatal error: Can't locate time/Local.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/admin /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-bsdos /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-bsdos /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) at /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/admin/links.cfg line 160.

Script Location : /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/admin/admin.cgi
Perl Version : 5.00503

I have made no changes to the links.cfg script related to times or dates.
Links.cfg is also located in the admin directory with the links.cgi.


Please let me know what I should do to correct the error.... the likely piece of the links.cfg file is


# Date Routines

# two functions are defined &date_to_unix and &unix_to_date:
# The default is dd-mmm-yyyy.

sub date_to_unix {

# This routine must take your date format and return the time a la UNIX time().
# Some things to be careful about..
# timelocal does not like to be in array context, don't do my($time) = timelocal (..)
# int your values just in case to remove spaces, etc.
# catch the fatal error timelocal will generate if you have a bad date..
# don't forget that the month is indexed from 0!

NOTE The server is unix using a Virtual Server
Operating System v6.0.0

Appreciate any assistance
