in thread Module 'Date'

I think that every interesting subject needs a first personal interpretation of the problem to be completelly aware of the real needs.

Who knows if you should become an expert on this subject in a couple of years...?

I am also interested in this strange lacking of good time administration of the basic Perl.(it seems that it allways backed on C code to solve this problem)

I wish you good luck in this journey.

At the Perl Date Time Project? (it recently looks a bit forgotten)

And , please, keep on sharing your ideas about this subject!

    Define good :-)

    For many uses the support for dates and time in the core language is all you need. If you need more there are many other modules that offer support. Personally I'm against adding things to the core language that are better supported by external modules. Once you move something into the core language you tie updates and bug fixes to new versions of perl.

    Not sure where you get this impression. The DateTime modules have been hitting CPAN on an impressively regular basis. And jolly good they are too.
