A name needs to be settled on first. Ben and I have had some discussion and we've taken completely different and incompatible approaches. My parser only does Dates + Date/Time formats and although very simple in scope it should be pretty fast with length matching. Not to mention I didn't finish it two months ago like I should have. Ben's module has a very large scope and should eventually do recurrences/durations (pretty neat) although there is some startup overhead it could be just as fast. We are thinking about having two different modules. Or I'm willing to throw mine away if it's just going to be superfluous. DateTime::Format::ISO8601::Complex DateTime::Format::ISO8601::Simple The question is should there be a DT::Format::ISO8601 module? And if so which module should it be. I'm more or less indifferent as which way to go. Ben's module will cover much more of ISO8601 then mine. -J --
