XML::RSS appears to depend on a newer version of DateTime::Local

XML::RSS appears to depend on a newer version of DateTime::Local than is
supplied in the distribution

Under Hardy I have installed libxml-rss-perl using apt; when I attempt to
use XML::RSS I get the following error from perl:

DateTime::Locale version 0.4 required--this is only version 0.35 at
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/DateTime.pm line 46.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/DateTime.pm
line 46.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/DateTime/Format/Mail.pm
line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/usr/share/perl5/DateTime/Format/Mail.pm line 7.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/XML/RSS.pm line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/XML/RSS.pm line 6.
Compilation failed in require at ./rss-sig line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./rss-sig line 2.

It appears that one of the modules that XML:RSS depends on depends on a
newer version of DateTime::Locale than is supplied via apt. I don't know
enough about perl to unwind which module is throwing the error, but I'd be
happy to do more testing if someone can point me in the right direction.

I misguidedly tried to use CPAN to install XML::RSS, but discovered that
cpan was installing modules outside the @INC path. After researching a bit
on the ubuntu web page, I started using the packages via apt. I don't think
this is related to the problem, but it could be. If it is, I would love to
know how to unwind what I've done with cpan.

Thanks for your help!
