DateTime::Format::Duration formats (was Re: DateTime::Set: make test failing on Debian Sarge)

I'm not happy with the formatting/normalizing in that module at the moment, but until DateTime works for non UTC math, don't expect any changes :) I'll probably look at some sort of extended system for the formats: %h == hours in the normalised time %.h == duration expressed as an integer number of hours %.2h == duration expressed in hours to two decimal places So to get the format you want, the format is '%.h:%m' But as I said, that wont be happening until the date math is working for non-UTC zones.

It's not possible to format a duration so I get hours:minutes? (E.g. 144:22). Seems to me that I can't get hours > 23 if I normalize.

This looks like it will be the same problem in the last three or four threads in the mailing list: the calucation of datetimes in timezones other than UTC. If you only work in UTC, it will probably all work fine. You can convert to some other time zone before returning your results. Or you can pass any spare tuits you have lying around to Dave .. he's looking for some :) (BTW: My DateTime::Format::Duration tests also fail with the current date math problems in DateTime, so once again you can ignore the failed tests so long as you only want UTC durations formatted :)) Cheers!
