Hi DateTimers,

As part of an application I'm working on, we have the need to format date
spans in a human readable way that flows naturally.  While our requirements
are for English only, I think that it is a general purpose module and I was
quite surprised to not encounter something on the CPAN.

Given a DateTime::Span object, I need to format it naturally so the
following examples are properly handled and displayed:
 - "June 31st - July 2nd, 2009"
 - "June 15th - 16th, 2009"
 - "December 29th, 2009 - January 1st, 2010"

Basically, I need to get the data in such a way from DateTime::Locale based
on these requirements.  I briefly chatted with Dave on irc, and he asked for
me to mail the list for any implementation ideas.

My current implementation is a simplistic hack, and I think this has merit
in the DateTime world as a highly valuable module.

Any ideas?  I probably won't have time to dive into it too much until later
this year, but hoping someone here has made some efforts in that direction
to save me the trouble :)

Thanks,
-Jay
