ANNOUNCE: DateTime::Format::Roman beta

2003-06-02 Thread Eugene van der Pijll
I have just put a new module in CVS: DateTime-Format-Roman. This module formats any DateTime object as a Roman date. For example: today is the Kalends of June 2003; -0043-03-15 was the Ides of March 44BC. The interface is more or less based on strftime. At the moment it is very simple, only provi

Ok, I think the test results for 20infinite.t may be different because of recent changes in subtract_datetime. Could a Windows user run the tests again, please? For the 04epoch.t failures, I think I'll need to be able to use the latest Time::Local code, which means releasing it to CPAN. Hopefull

I'm having problems with RedHat 9. Now it could just be my install, but someone might be able to help me. I know this is offtopic, but the problem only reared it's head when installing DateTime. The problem is this: in shell, I can't type a quote without a seqeunce such as [quote][x][delete]. I
