Once and future dates/times

Re: Parsing/Formatting API

ents. I fully accept that you are the driver here and you > will win the argument if it comes down to it. Hey, I know! Let's fork and take the TimeDate namespace to make a superficially similar but completely different set of date/time routines. ;-) * 5 -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Parsing/Formatting API

formatter $str0 = DateTime::formatdate($format); # use the $dto object's formatter $str1 = $dto->formatdate($format); # format the $dto object using the CustomFormat $str2 = $dto->formatdate($format, { formatter => CustomFormat } ); -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Alternative strftime

7;t see why we can't have a strftime() formatter. People are used to it and there are gobs of code that use it. Besides, if we come up with a like-strftime-but-better formatter and start using it, eventually people will see its merits and choose it over the strftime formatter. -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Calendrical Calculations and licensing

It doesn't hurt to ask and if they refuse, then we just continue ignoring the book for implementation advice. -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: DateTime::Set API

erator determines what gets passed to the generator? If it's generating backwards in time it would be given the lowest date? -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Parsing/Formatting API

Ok, how about this then: > > my $format = DateTime::Formats::MySQL->new( ... ); > > my $dt = $format->parse_datetime( $mysql_dt ); > > $format->as_timestamp( datetime => $dt, length => 8 ); my $f = DateTime::Formats::Mysql->new(...); my $dt = DateT

Re: ANNOUNCE: DateTime.pm and DateTime::TimeZone 0.01_00

kage isn't installed, though. I haven't looked at the code yet, but would it be useful to ask the user what their offset is from GMT, then create a dummy TZ from that offset for testing purposes? -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff [EMAIL PROTECTED]
