Re: Module submission Date::Object

2003-01-21 Thread Matt Luker
I just found Date::Handler (no, I don't know how I missed it).  It
appears to be very complete.  Sigh.  I will look at the code and see if
I have anything to contribute.

Darn.  Sorry for the dupe.  I'll double-check my double-check next time
:-(

Developer ID request/module contribution

2001-09-22 Thread Matt Luker

Hi,

I'd like to request a CPAN/PAUSE developer ID:

- Matt Luker
- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- http://www.redstarhackers.com/
- MLUKER
- I have created a Date object that can be used mathematically.  It
  allows you to create dates from strings (e.g. "2001-09-22") and then
  add days to it ($tomorrow = Date::Object::Date->new("2001-09-22") + 1)
  or just treat it like a normal number (++, +=, etc.).  It might not
  be the most ideal design (just wraps perl ctime funcs), but it does work
  well (IMO).

Thanks,
Matt
