Modified: docs/Perl6/Spec/S32-setting-library/Temporal.pod Log: [spec-S32-Temporal] uses Instant instead of Rat for the return of time(), Allow base Duration type to work with TAI-seconds delegating to Gregorian::Duration otherwise, Add some methods to Gregorian::DateTime to make the distinction of Instant vs DateTime more evident Modified: docs/Perl6/Spec/S32-setting-library/Temporal.pod =================================================================== --- docs/Perl6/Spec/S32-setting-library/Temporal.pod 2009-09-09 06:46:34 UTC (rev 28212) +++ docs/Perl6/Spec/S32-setting-library/Temporal.pod 2009-09-09 12:33:35 UTC (rev 28213) @@ -30,8 +30,10 @@ repository under /docs/Perl6/Spec/S32-setting-library/Temporal.pod so edit it there in the SVN repository if you would like to make changes. -=head1 Current Time +=head1 Roles +=head2 Instant + The epoch used in Perl 6 to represent time instants is the International Atomic Time - TAI - which is independent of calendars, timezones as well as leap seconds.
