Perl Setup

Kalendus is written entirely in Perl. It makes use of several open source modules, available from CPAN (www.cpan.org).

DBI

Database independant interface to connect to SQL databases.

DBD::mysql

Time::JulianDay, in Time-modules

Date calculations.

Your operating system may come with these modules (e.g. as Redhat or Debian packages).

Assumption

You have Perl 5 installed.
