Well, I kind of missed it, as it was January 9th. I've been reading my old
use Perl journal posts and that led me to the post that basically started
the Perl DateTime project back in 2003 -
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.datetime/2003/01/msg388.html
Thanks to everyone who's contributed over the years. I don't think we
realized that we'd end up creating _the_ definitive set of Perl date/time
libraries, to the point where a _lot_ of people say "oh, I just use
DateTime for everything".
Even better, I think we still have one of the best date/time library
suites of _any_ language out there. The only thing I've seen in all this
time that comes close is the Chronos library for Smalltalk, myself.
