Rod,

   The docs mention that Date::Calc is required and that most current
distributions include it. I think the check is like our appendix: left over
from earlier evolutionary times and no longer necessary.

   I've not had problems until a month or so ago. I've used pflogsumm since
1998 (or 1999) and received a mailed report each day. Why it stopped its
daily run is what I'm trying to find.

Thanks,
