For God sakes. Are you intentionally not answering the question?

Is 2011-11-08 plus one year equal to 2012-11-08 in Date::Manip, or can it only add 365 days (2012-11-07)? I'd try myself, but I don't want to waste my time possibly using the wrong interface when you can do it in 30 seconds.

I don't know that I agree that either is 'right' or 'wrong' because so much of it is subject to opinion...

Actually, a year of a date is quite well defined. In 2011-11-08, 2011 is the year. This isn't a matter of opinion. If you add one year, you have 2012-11-08.

I can agree there's some ambiguity as to how to handle dates that don't exist in the new calendar, but returning 2012-11-07 is not adding one year, it's adding 365 days.
