I recently needed to handle the same thing, but also needed to be able to
handle hourly steps. Would it be possible to add support for something
like the following:
my $i1 = Date::Iterator->new(from => [2003,12,1,10],
to => [2003,12,10,23] );
and have it return arrays (or refs) with [yyyy,mm,dd,hh] back?
This could also be expanded in both directions, to handle:
my $i1 = Date::Iterator->new(from => [2003,12],
to => [2004,3] );
and:
my $i1 = Date::Iterator->new(from => [2003,12,1,10,6],
to => [2003,12,2,3,55] );
The latter to be a range of minutes from 2003-12-01 10:06 to
2003-12-02 3:55.
I realize that probably wasn't your origonal intention at all, but
that would be really handy.
BTW - I'd be happy to contribute to Date::Iterator to add support for the
above type of scenarios if you'd like.
