Re: Re: pls suggest a faster date manipulation package

2004-07-28 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
 

 great. I wanted to do date comparisons.  When I used Date::Calc I found it
 superfast (takes only seconds) while the Date::Manip is still terribly
 slow(takes days to process).  Only  problem I am finding is Date::Calc does
 not seem to come with default perl packages.  And I am behind a corporate
 firewall. So I had a tough time installing the package. Finally I
 downloaded the zip file instead of using CPAN module .  But I wonder if I
 am distributing this to customer, how will I install the perl Date::Calc
 package ? My customer is not very technical and a mere copying of this
 package will not work either!! Somehow I have to install it

 thanks

 The fastest datetime module is Date::Calc.  Of course, if it doesn't do
 what you need, then that won't matter.

You should take a look at PAR on CPAN.

Bug: Storable on Infinite Dates Broken

2004-07-28 Thread Max Campos 
Just FYI -

Storable freeze seems to fail when running against a
DateTime::Infinite::Future/Past object.  I believe it's because
$self-{locale} is not being defined.

I don't have a patch, but I thought you may want to at least scribble this
one down in the bug tracker.

===
use DateTime::Infinite;
use Storable;

my $future = DateTime::Infinite::Future-new;
Storable::freeze($future);
===

Item #1 returned by STORABLE_freeze for DateTime::Infinite::Future is not
a reference at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit into
../../lib/auto/Storable/_freeze.al) line 282, at foo line 5
