You don't think that will cut into broad acceptance? I think ideally DateTime could be treated as a base Perl data type, but I worry about module authors adopting it for internal use if it adds an XS dependency. At least until DT ships in the core. Might it be possible to learn something from the way XML::SAX offers a PurePerl impl? kellan -- "we reject kings, presidents and voting. we believe in rough consensus and running code."
