I just checked...I do not have Date::Manip installed.
aloha todd thanks for that reply -- this is interesting; thought you wrote you're using beancounter? i'm seeing both beancounter and BeanCounter.pm using Date::Manip as far back as beancounter-0.6.3 ??? todd and all other newer gt users -- don't know what platform you're using so don't know if it's a big deal or worse to install perl modules. but i believe if you find gt useful, you'll really like the date entry flexibility the stems by adding Date::Manip to you're perl install. as an example % scan.pl --timeframe day --start '6 months ago' --end 'last friday' \ scan_symbol2 'last friday' scan_signal instead of % scan.pl --timeframe day --start 'heck -- you do the date math! -- fellow hackers this suggests we cannot presume Date::Manip will be available even for those users using beancounter. the only gt module i know requires it is the new GT::DB:Text. but GT::Tools will use it if available. ras

Thanks! more correctly, my corrected scan.pl works. good to hear! again sorry for the screwup -- seems you may have been the guinea pig for that one. a question if you don't mind: do you have perl module Date::Manip installed? try perl -M"Date::Manip 99" -e 'exit;' you'll get something like Date::Manip version 99 required--this is only version 5.44. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. if you do, and something like Can't locate Date/Manip.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/perl5.... if you do not. aloha ras
