I'd try re-installing Dave::Calc. Below is a Usenet thread I found on  
Google complaining about the same C thing, only in a different  
package...

I assume you can't 'use Date::Calc' in any Perl script w/o it blowing  
up?

This is the C compilation error in your distribution.

This is your clue that the use lib worked, and it found Tk.pm. Perl
is dying at line 15 of Tk.pm - presumably, where it tries and fails to
load the Event.so extention. So it found your distribution fine - the
distribution is bad.

Well, if by distro you mean 'rpm', you're right. No comments
there. But if by distro you mean 'installable package,' you'll find it
at:
