Before using Date::Tie, I played (struggled) with Date::Manip's ParseRecur, but I didn't know, and was unable to find with Google, in which form the start and end times were supposed to be. Because I didn't want a list, just the next one, this was important.

The module offered no clear examples. The synopsis only lists the available functions with their arguments, and the in the examples it is not clear in what format the date should be. Maybe it is somewhere in the documentation, but I didn't feel like reading this 41 (A4) page monster.

Thanks for the post, though.
