You're right - DateTime.so should have been compiled from DateTime.xs and
placed in blib where it would have been found. But, as you can see from the
output of 'make', no compilation whatsoever took place. That could be
because:
a) there is something wrong with your perl installation;
b) there is a bug in the DateTime Makefile.PL.

What did 'perl Makefile.PL' report ?
Can you successfully build (eg) Math::FFT from CPAN ? (That would
demonstrate that your perl installation is basically ok wrt building
extensions.)

Cheers,
Rob
