Perhaps I'm cynical, but in my mind the type of people who write bad applications not only wouldn't care about potential DateTime DoS attacks, but they would have many more egregious offenses. Bad applications are bad, but sullying up good code to accomodate them is an even worse idea in my book. The best solution is that Schwern gets a patch in ;) Schwern++ # gitpan is done, now you need something else! -J
