As a fair warning, DateTime is a bit dodgy about the way it handles DST. (for instance if you are in DST and ask for a time in the non-DST portion of the year your time will be 1 hour off... e.g. if I ask for Jan 1 2006, 13:00 now then convert it to seconds since 1970 it will actually be Jan 1 2006, 12:00). Also if you have a long running process that has loaded DateManip and you have a DST change it will effectively ignore the change since the offset is cached at startup (you can force it to recompute at runtime, but it doesn't by default).
Is that first sentence supposed to say "Date::Manip" instead of "DateTime"? I sure hope so ;)
