Just a side note -- as of version 1.06 I compile this (along with a
handful of other modules OpenInteract and SPOPS use) and make it
available for Win32 PPM users. It should be in the POD for Class::Date
now.

On the larger issue -- I don't think that date and time handling
should be in the P5EE sccope, but I also don't think that making
informal standards is such a bad thing either. That is, if any P5EE
APIs deal with dates or times we make our handling consistent with one
of the better modules out there, like Class::Date.
