Some of them are, but not all. Frankly, I don't think most people really look at the list much, nor do most people consider it "authoritative". What'd help more would be some articles on the project. I've been wanting to write one for a while, but I'm always short on time. > If people should concentrate effort in making this framework the > solution for Dates and times related problems, the DateTime namespace > should at least appear on the Module List, right? Some of them _are_ registered, but that document you're referring to hasn't been regenerated since 2002/08/27! I wish the CPAN folks would just remove it if it won't be generated regularly. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
