Why not just install the libdate-calc-perl package, and poof, it's
already integrated with Ubuntu's package management system? Also,
you'll know it works once the package is installed.

Thanks for the info. I tried: sudo apt-get install libdate-calc-perl. It
worked like a charm. :-)

I've fixed your quoting style; please don't top-post in the future.

In general, you can install almost any Perl module in Ubuntu via
package management-- they don't have all of CPAN in there, but most of
the most useful libraries are there. To figure out the name, you can
usually transform the Perl module Foo::Bar::Baz to
libfoo-bar-baz-perl. There are a few modules this doesn't work with--
LWP::Simple is provided by libwww-perl-- but in general, that's the
way to figure it out.
