These posts pointed me in the write direction. Hopefully, this clarification can help someone else fix this same problem.
To install DateTime on Mac
- read the original post from Perrmoss and the reply by Corion for background info
- sudo CPAN
- go through configuration (if needed) press enter for most options except:
- choose "follow" for the prerequisite policy (instead of ask)
- personally, I made the recommended/common choices to some of the options (like UNINST=1)
Now here's the key:
- Try to install DateTime. Every time you see an error, install the package that's missing by:
- Looking for text along the lines of
Can't locate Params/Validate.pm in @INC (@INC
or
Can't locate DateTime/Locale.pm in @INC (@INC
- Take the "Params/Validate.pm" part and convert it to
Params::Validate
- and run the corresponding command in CPAN:
install Params::Validate
For me to get the DateTime module to install I had to run the following, first:
install Params::Validate
install DateTime::Locale
install DateTime::TimeZone
Keep following that pattern and you'll get it installed, finally!!!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
