Whooo, I seem to have missed the bus here. Wasn't the entire point

Thanks for the reply. So are you saying that DateTime::Duration
shouldn't really be used at all if I have units of fractional anything and
want to convert that to a duration? I'm supposed to convert it first to
hours, minutes and seconds and then instantiate

Cause really it should just blow up when you give it fractional anything.
Or not. Anyone know of a good way to check that a parameter is one of:

I'd also point out that it probably won't work well with non-integer
units. I'm not sure what'll happen w
Hi Tim,
It looks like the normalization is hosed.
Cut 'n Paste-able example:
--
use DateTime::Duration;
my $dur = DateTime::Duration->new( hours => 2.67 );
print "hours: ",$dur->in_units( 'hours' ), "\n";
print "minutes: ", $dur->in_units( 'minutes' ), "\n";
print "seconds: ", $du
I once wrote a module to do this (long before DateTime).
Note that in the second case the result is exact.
Date::Tie is _very_ careful to round errors correctly.
use Date::Tie;
tie my %date, 'Date::Tie', frac_hour => 2.67;
print $date{frac_hour}, "\n";
print $date{hour}, ":",
$d

Dave,
Thanks for the reply. So are you saying that DateTime::Duration
shouldn't really be used at all if I have units of fractional anything and
want to convert that to a duration? I'm supposed to convert it first to
hours, minutes and seconds and then instantiate a DateTime::Duration from
