GNUpod - perl parse problems

hiho,

another noob question :

i've installed GNUpod, which uses a punch of perl scripts. perl is the current version 5.10, GNUpod requires 5.8
anyways, when i start using the scripts i get following error:

Can't locate Date/Parse.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl /usr/lib/perl5/current /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current .) at /usr/bin/gnupod_addsong.pl line 32.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/gnupod_addsong.pl line 32.

is there any experienced user, who can tell me how to deal with this issue?
i guess just using the older perl version is not the best way.

THX for support

Re: GNUpod - perl parse problems

That's perl's roundabout way of saying you are missing the Date::Parse module.  gnupod seems to have added it as a requirement without mentioning it in the docs.  You can install the missing module from the AUR with this perl-timedate package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=12298.
