RFC: DateTime::Calendar::RataDie - A common calendar object for conversions to/from different calendars - Replaces the 'rd' value that is now used for this purpose - Internals: day - rd day number second - seconds from midnight nanosecond - nanoseconds is_local - utc or local time other... - ? There is no hours, months, weeks, years. - DateTime::Calendar::RataDie::Duration a common "duration" object to compare dates between calendars - Problems: new implementation = new errors; lots of work yet another object = slower program other... - ? - Flavio S.
