Re^4: RFC 822 date manipulation without DateTime module?by GhodMode (Pilgrim) |

You're right, of course. Date::Time is the right way to do it. I'm just trying to minimize external dependencies. It's a hassle to install Perl dependencies. I need root access to use the cpan module or install something using APT. I don't even want to consider how Windows folks would do it. I would also need to eliminate the dependence on XML::LibXML (without replacing it with something else external). So, this is probably a wasted effort for me. I'm learning and having fun though :) After I'm done with this program, I might try with another language. Perl is still my favorite, but portability and easy installation (or no installation) are my goals. Besides that, I think I have some ideas about how a podcast downloader/client should be that are unique enough to eventually turn this into an open-source project. -- -- GhodmodeBlessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness. -- Thomas Carlyle
