Re^8: Finding End of Month's date

Use call_on_obj() and don't chain. It's still a slick API, Q.E.D.

FWIW, DateTime IMHO falls under the accumulator exception, just like the chained calls in File::Find::Rule.

Makeshifts last the longest.

Use call_on_obj() and don't chain. Why should I? You were the person who complained about chaining mutators, and you were the one that used them in preference over `call_on_obj`. I don't object to the use of chaining mutators. Q.E.D. Eh? What were you supposed to prove, and how did your prove it? FWIW, DateTime IMHO falls under the accumulator exception, `$obj -> truncate(to => 'month') -> add('months' => 1, days => -1)` is an "accumulator exception" (guess 'truncate' and 'add' are "accumulators" then), but `$widget -> title(foo) -> border(20)` isn't? That makes me curious. What decides whether something falls under "accumulator exception" and what doesn't?	[reply]
