local timezone

2004-02-04 Thread Ilya A. Tereshchenko
Hello! I have a problem with DateTime::set_time_zone(local) call: it says that cannot determine local timezone. Actually, this behavior appeared when I upgraded DateTime modules (and relatves). After little investigation I found that since v0.12 (that I used before) there was changed local

That bit sets @Carp::CARP_NOT. In your code you should be setting @Your::Module::CARP_NOT. It's intended to be set just once, like @ISA, not just before calling carp. Got it. I think this diff would do. Thanks for the pointer :) Index: lib/DateTime/Format/Builder.pm

A Time-only namespace?

2004-02-04 Thread Daisuke Maki
I'd like to rip out the traditional Japanese time support from DT::C::Japanese and place it on its own module, so that a) I can use it for Gregorian-based calendars and b) I can test it more thoroughly (presumably it will be much faster, because I wouldn't have to worry about calculating
