Re: I can't subtract one DateTime object from another to get a DateTime::Duration in days

You almost always never need DateTime and can almost always use strftime from POSIX, in combination with the time functions perl already supports.

True, you probably never 'need' the power of DateTime. However, it does offer the convenience of a 'swiss-army-knife'. It has always been able to solve my time related problems without the effort of searching for a better tool. Bill	[reply]

I don't hate DateTime or think less of anyone who does use it, I just use it when I have to. Usually that's never. YMMV	[reply]
