Just beware of what I said last year in comp.lang.perl.modules:

    *really* *really* many.

    Every time I use Date::Manip in a program, the lights all dim in my house.

    :-)

    I don't want to say it's a heavyweight module, but every time I back up
    a program that uses it, I hear a series of warning beeps.

    :-)

    When it sits around the program, it sits *around* the program.

    :-)

    I'm pretty sure I'm seeing einsteinian light bending around the local
    gravitational increase caused by programs that use Date::Manip.

    :-)

    Be very careful to never use Date::Manip twice in the same program,
    or you could form a black hole!

    :-)

    When I email a program using Date::Manip to someone else, I have to be
    sure to send a pilot car ahead of it.

    :-)

    I truly enjoy using Date::Manip, don't get me wrong; RAM is cheap these
    days and pretty soon I'll be able to afford another 512MB so I can use
    Date::Manip along with one or two other modules.

    :-)

    I'm writing this in Damian's OOP class - he's just mentioned rewriting
    Date::Manip, making it smaller and faster.  He's calling it Spacetime::Manip.
    Sounds less complex to me!

    :-)

    Seriously, there's nothing funny about Date::Manip.  Friends don't let
    frien

    OUT OF MEMORY
