Re: Data Encapsulation Class

If you want to keep it simple and can settle for dates expressible in epoch time, POSIX::strftime() with builtin localtime can provide great flexibility in output format. Some strftime formats reflect locale, so you don't need to do internationalization by hand.

Time::Piece, Date::Calc::Object or DateTime are available if you must have a date class.

Thanks for the recs guys. Can't seem to get DateTime to install, but Date::Manip looks sufficient. ¥peace from CaMelRyder¥	[reply]

Usually if you cannot get DateTime installed it is because it is missing some dependencies. What operating system are you using?	[reply]

I'm running Fedora Core 5. I told it to download all dependencies and install. The first set included Date::Local and a few sets later it bombed out because Date::Local wan't installed. I thought it was weird, so I checked out the DateManip stuff instead. ¥peace from CaMelRyder¥	[reply]
