I can't say enough good things about DateTime and its hard-working maintainer. Bravo, Dave! And thanks. I hope you had fun in Taiwan on your "sort of" vacation. Just minutes ago, I installed DT 0.4304, DT::TZ 0.78 and DT:Locale 0.41 on my Microsoft Windows XP SP2 computer with ActivePerl 5.8.8 (Build 822) installed. I used the Perl Package Manager v4.01 and downloaded the pre-compiled, pre-packaged modules from http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/. Slick! What about DateTime advocacy? I want to show off DateTime and its assimilation of the world's most recent locale, time zone and time scale changes. Any suggestions? For example, how do I best demonstrate DateTime.pm's understanding of the just-announced 24th leap second, 2008-12-31T23:59:60? And how might I show off the latest additions to the Olson tz database using DateTime/TimeZone.pm? -- Jim Monty <html> <body> <p>***********************************************************************</p> <p>The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
