 How about to extend the 'to_datetime' method, 
instead of creating a 
 new 
 one: 
  
if ($dti-can_be_datetime) { 
   $dti = $dti-to_datetime 
} 
  
 
Sounds good .. and it's as simple as using 
DateTime-today as the base, which may well be a 
good default behaviour for -to_datetime when no 
base is in the object or none is passed in the call.

Maybe should be: 
sub has_time {  
   return 1 if ($_[0]-has('hour', 'minute') and not 
$_[0]-has('nanosecond')); 
   return 1 if ($_[0]-has('hour', 'minute', 'second'))  
   return 0 
}   
Which only returns true if we have HH:MM or 
HH:MM:SS or HH:MM:SS.N+. The older version 
allowed us to get true for HH:MM:xx.N+ which is not 
really a time. 
 
Same caveat: 
Above code passes all tests on the perl installed in
my head. Havn't tried any of it with the much fussier  
software version.   
   
perl -v   
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for ricks-brain-1.0

Nah, that's not going to happen. The entire point of 
the module is to get a DateTime object. So it's either 
going to be a full DateTime or a 
DateTime::Incomplete.
