Its rather odd to have one interface style for getting and a different one for setting.

    my $day = $d->day;  # get
    $d->set(day => 1);  # set

To make things confusing, some accessors do accept arguments.  ymd, hms, etc...

$d->day(1) and friends should be the equivalent of $d->set(day => 1) to make the 
interface consistent and obvious.
