Probably no compelling reasons... but if I may offer some background <blowing dust off frail scrolls> Time::Piece was originally created to be more "human" interface to time functions than the C std library. (Which sucks on so many levels.) It was also conceived around the time when the initial perl6 spec process was going on: I forget exactly which way and in which order the ideas went, but the coupling was tight and not accidental. I then added it some point (since the idea was to pick nice ideas off of perl6), but then removed it, since someone doubted adding it. Then later I convinced some pumpking to add it back. That concludes the history lesson.Thread Previous | Thread Next
