I have never had a time related problem that I could not do with Date::Time. It probably is always overkill, but it gets the job done. Why look further?

    There are some reasons you won't find Date::Time under the Task::Kensho modules.

    For one, look at this review of the module you mentioned. Or the fact that the module synopsis still starts with the line:

    This is just some suggestions, as nothing is implemented yet. I'm open to critisism.

    The fact that you 'never had a time related problem' that you could not do with one particular tool is still not enough to be sure that there is no reason to look further into other tools. Even curiosity is reason enough to look further.

    As always, TIMTOWTDI.

      The module you and Bill (accidentally) linked is not the DateTime being discussed/recommended I think.

        Of course it is not. I should know, I made the DateTime recommendation. :)

        The link to DateTime in my reply works fine. Bill replied recommending Date::Time, but he also suggested that there is no reason to look further. And that suggestion, even if he made a mistake and intended to refer to DateTime, was something that I could not agree with.

        Still, we're probably all in agreement that DateTime is an excellent module. Praise to its authors, and Merry Christmas to us all.
