As I see there are a lot of OO date modules available for perl. I
know the following: Time::Object, Date::ICal, Date::Handle and my
module: Class::Date. These are too much. When I started developing
Class::Date I got a response only from Matt Sergeant, author of
Time::Object, and this was the only module that I know similar to y
module.

Time::OO has an interesting syntax, I think other OO modules that
works with operator overloading has more friendly syntax. But if you
want to do this, then I suppose choose one author, contact him and
send him patches. Yet Another Time module is (I think) not worth
writing...
