Subject: Re: P5EE::Util::DateTime (?!?) (Document link: Wesley Sheldahl)
I've mostly used Date::Calc in the past (since I got started with it probably
before Class::Date was around), but the Class::Date docs say that as of version
1.08 it no longer requires a C compiler, as long as you move its Date.pm file to
the right place.
This list is the first place I've seen mention of Time::Piece; it also looks
pretty useful. The biggest decision for this group will probably be deciding on
an API. Eventually. Maybe a consensus will emerge from the actual code that
gets submitted to P5EE, and we can take this particular vote that way. :-)

I didn't tried it, but from the docs of Class::Date it should be possible to
utilize Date::Parse for it's parseing. So there should be no need for using
Date::Parse directly. So interface should always be via Class::Date. Also I
don't see what you can do with Date::Format, what can't be done with
Class::Date. So (in case I am not wrong) we should only use Class::Date and
access Date::Parse only via the Class::Date interface.
