Thanks, but I'd hate to see you copy all my mistakes too! One thing I think is really important is to offer a Date-only object without a time component. The lack of such an object in Perl 5's DateTime family is a real problem. If you're only interested in dates and date math, time and time zones just muddies the water. Also, I really don't think that supporting time zones only in the form of "+0100" is useful. This gives the _illusion_ of time zone support, but will inevitable cause all sorts of user facing problems. Buy maybe this is part isn't done? On a smaller point, I think second vs whole_second is the wrong Huffman coding. I'd think most people want the integer value. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/Thread Previous | Thread Next
