You need to make clear with the DBI mailing list that the namespace
DBI:: is OK.

> 2. Date::Object
> Date::Object is a container for dates that holds all the methods
> to transform itself from Timezone to Timezone and format itself.
> This module idea comes from an original version written by dLux

> Date::Object is implemented in pure Perl using POSIX modules, it
> encapsulates the environnement variable TZ for it's time zone
> management so you don't have to play with it externally in the
> implementation.
> It uses operator overloading and Delta date objects to calculates

Please try to come up with a different name. There was a long thread
about Date::Object on
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules/
