/me is enlightened.

I guess I shall have to go and code up my hypothesis. The only niggling thing is that I'm pretty sure the log files started from May last year, and I wrote the stuff in September. So I shouldn't have been bitten by that.

Mind you, shouldn't Date::Calc deal with that kind of fiddly stuff for me? That's why I'm not rolling my own in the first place, no?

    Well, there's a 25-hour day in there... maybe that broke it.

    And Date::Calc is doing what you told it. If you cross the funny-days, you get surprising results only if you're not aware of it.
