I would love to be able to write: use Time::localtime; my $t = localtime; $t->mday += 3; return $t->mktime; To do this, this requires: * lvalue accessors on Time::localtime / Time::gmtime objects * A mktime method + also if this was added, a timegm method would be nice too ;) These would simplify a lot of time/date manipulation operations. ----- Purely as an implementation note, these could be implemented by some lazy generation/caching in methods and so on, but that's implementation. I care more about the interface. Would anyone object if I sent a patch to supply this? I'm quite sure it isn't at all hard to write. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/Thread Next
