newbie question - cronvar / extras modules

[Ross Black]

Hi,

I have just started using Ansible, and would like some help with using cronvar.

When I attempt to use cronvar I get an error message: 'ERROR: cronvar is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler'
If I run 'ansible-doc cronvar' I get the message: 'module cronvar not found in ...'
cronvar is not in the set of modules listed with 'ansible-doc -l'
Other extras modules are available (e.g. http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/facter_module.html)

From reading the docs (http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/cronvar_module.html) cronvar is an extras module which should already be shipped/installed with ansible.

I am running ansible 1.9.2, which I installed via pip.
(I could not see any cronvar code under /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible)

Have I missed something during installation or configuration?  Has cronvar been removed or replaced with something else?

Thanks,
Ross
