I'd like to add some emphasis to the point raised here. The impetus for the Date-Ethiopic package was to provide a pure perl calendar system conversion package. A number of people who tried to use the XS based Convert::Date::Ethiopic module reported that they were unable to do so. Their web hosting service would allow them to upload text files (html, cgi, perl modules, etc) but they had no access to build local binaries. I am looking forward to migrating Date-Ethiopic under DateTime::Calendar, but it presents an unfortunate burden if I also have to maintain a wholely seperate pure perl implementation. cheers, /Daniel
