I was trying to compare two durations, and came up with some surprises.
DB<1> use DateTime;
DB<2> $hour = DateTime::Duration->new(hours=>1);
DB<3> $minute = DateTime::Duration->new(minutes=>1);
# Try comparing $hour and $minute
DB<4> print ($hour < $minute)
1 # Wh??
# Try sub
Say I've got a function that takes a duration. I could
1) require the user to do DateTime::Duration->new(...);
2) take a listref argument containing the params, e.g. [days=>1] and do the
creation myself
3) be flexible and take either argument, distinguishing the two by isa()
Any advice from other

DateTime::Format::ICal 0.08 is not passing the dog food test and
successfully parsing its own results. For example:
$DTFI = DateTime::Format::ICal;
$r = $DTFI->parse_recurrence(recurrence => 'FREQ=DAILY');
$str = ($DTFI->format_recurrence($r))[0];
print "$str\n";
produces 'RRULE:FREQ=DAIL
