Hi Luke, AFAIK, formatting/parsing modules like yours go under the DateTime::Format:: namespace.
A module for what it sounds like you're trying to do already exists: http://search.cpan.org/~schubiger/DateTime-Format-Natural-0.65/http://search.cpan.org/~schubiger/DateTime-Format-Natural-0.65/ I'm not sure if it handles durations, though. Try poking around here: http://search.cpan.org/search?query=DateTime%3A%3AFormat&mode=all Best, Rob On Jan 10, 2008 4:40 PM, Luke Hutscal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I recently put the finishing touches on a module that creates more "natural" > descriptions of timespans - converting things like "200" into "3 minutes, 20 > seconds". > > After asking for some naming ideas on Perlmonks, I was given the idea of > calling my module DateTime::NaturalLanguage. > > I attempted to submit my module to the CPAN module list, and was told that I > should join this mailing list and ask about including my module into the > namespace - to coordinate with other modules that are currently being > developed. > > Can I put my module into the DateTime namespace?
