The project is Greymatter, a CGI blogging package that a lot of people run in a web hosting environment where they can upload files and run perl scripts, but probably wouldn't be allowed to compile anything, or in many cases know how to compile something even if they could. And, there are a few people using it on Windows hosts, which would probably pose additional problems. Maybe there are some stock ways to get around this.
BTW, I just started working on Greymatter, haven't released anything yet, so I take no credit or blame for the currently extant releases. ;-) At the moment, all of its date calculations are done by hand without the benefit of any of the CPAN solutions. :-( Wes Sheldahl Dave Rolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 03/21/2003 01:05:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: datetime <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: XS in DateTime.pm On Fri, 21 Mar 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > So is the DateTime suite going to be completely dependent on XS code?

What is your barrier to using XS? -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
