I think the OP has the 'imaginary' Perl distribution.
Cold out of the wrappers the default installation
for various vendor supplied versions of perl 5.8.X
releases do not have "Date::Calc".

Various Linux Vendors have 'base installs' and
'extended installs' and 'hyper-extended installs'
that install "should have been core modules" that
are tilted towards

        a. web stuff
        b. database stuff
        c. Dangerous Perl Sub Cults

Then there are the SysAdds who have their own
suite of OCD's, and hence will take in the vendor
supplied, vendor supported suite of basics, and
then tweak out their own "Minimum to Bid" collections
without which, well, they can become hostile, irratible
and really dangerous if cornered...

Be very Careful Around SysAdds. The Can BITE.

Also worth remembering, the PerlKabal is normally
managed with a SithLord and an Underling. Be Very
careful around them as well - they tend towards
the Dark Side of the Perl...
