Nah, I gave up on patches because I realized _you_ need to send _me_ patches! Here's what I think we need to do: - get rid of strftime in DT::F::Strptime and integrate its extra functionality into DT.pm proper, as was discussed before. You should do this. - add a method for constructing an object based on year and day of year, so DT::F::Strptime stops trying to do DateTime->new( year => 1, day => 275 ) which is what causes the tests to fail. This one I can do easily enough. For the croak stuff, I'm sure you can fix it, and the olsen => olson thing's just a search and replace. How's that for a plan? -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
