What do you mean by "the DateTime version that comes with that"?  DateTime
is not a core module - it must always be installed from the CPAN.
Therefore, it can be upgraded at any time; you are not stuck with an older
version.

Or are you perhaps using a linux distribution that packaged a particular
version of DateTime up with the core perl installation?

Can you be a bit more specific about the problems that you are seeing?  If
you are only imagining problems, I have a wild imagination and can imagine
many, but I have enough real problems to keep me busy most of the time that
I can keep my imagination safely in check. :)
