Is that a joke? I can't make heads or tails of LISP without a lot of effort on my part. The only reason they're my bible is that it's the book I happen to have sitting on my desk ;) > accomodate either case with flags/switches? See my reply to Eugene for why I dislike this. Basically, I have a strong bias against lots of parameters, particular to constructor/set methods. And for get methods, I'd rather see more methods than many parameters. > FYI: "Herod the Great:" Roman king of Judea (37 BC to 4 AD) that was 40 years > not 41 years! But year -36 to 4 is 40 as well. I think I'll add a bc_year() method to DateTime.pm, but the constructor will remain unchanged. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
