in reply to Comparing Dates

What's funny is that Calculating 1-day-before, with tons of great suggestions -- especially that one mentioning Class::Date... :-) -- just appeared a couple days ago...

Date::Handler Anyone? - Re: Comparing Dates

    I think I like Date::Handler slightly better than Class::Date.

      This looks interesting (pure-perl and all), although the fact that it claims it's incomplete at this time would lead me to set it aside and check it later...

      <rant mode="on">

      As an aside: why do people ignore stated and historical Perl conventions and create methods with StudlyCaps rather than underscored_names? The only place this should be accepted is if a module is echoing an API found from another language that does use StudlyCaps as a convention, like libservlet does with the Java Servlet API.

      I understand that people moving from another language where StudlyCaps are used might have a little dissonance with underscores, but a message for these folks: it goes away! I code lots of Java and lots of Perl every day and have no issues with it -- Java has StudlyCaps, Perl has underscored_names. Perl has sigils, Java doesn't. ... It's not that hard! It's all just syntax!
