It doesn't even end at 2002-12-31T23:59:59.9, the last moment in 2002 that DateTime can represent. The ending time of 2002-12 is 2003-01-01T00:00:00. Eugene

[ IMPROVEMENTS ]
- DateTime now does more validation of parameters given to
constructors and to the set() method, so bogus values like a month of
13 are a fatal error.
I'm not entirely sure I'd call this an improvement.
This has been beaten to death in the archives, but once again for the
record, it's going to stay like this.
my $month = 12;
my $dt1 = DateTime-new('month' = $month, 'year' = 2002);
print join(' ', $dt1-ymd(), $dt1-hms()) . \n;
my $dt2 = DateTime-new('month' = $month + 1, 'year' = 2002, 'second' =
-1);
print join(' ', $dt2-ymd(), $dt2-hms()) . \n;
To get the beginning and ending times of a month:
2002-12-01 00:00:00
2002-12-31 23:59:59
How would one do this with = 0.13 releases?
my $dt1 = DateTime-new( month = $month, year = 2002 );
my $dt2 = $dt1-clone-add( months = 1 )-subtract( seconds = 1 );
There are several variations on the above that'd work.
This seems like useful functionality to me.
No, it seems like a way to encourage people to write really weird code
that doesn't really demonstrate their _intent_. The next person after you
to read the code you posted will be sitting there think second = -1,
WTF?. If they read the code above, they'll think datetime math, ok.

Not quite correct. -D -- It's the wrong trousers Gromit, and they've gone wrong!

All I'm looking for now is something that works. Well, obviously this is a bug in the DateTime code, as that's not what _anyone_ would expect as a result, right? -dave /*=== House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com ===*/

Just checking to make sure that I'm not the only anyone here. =) Ah, looks like a bug in the pure Perl version of the code. I'll fix it and release a new version soon. -dave /*=== House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com ===*/
Re: Constructor validation of parameters
* Eugene van der Pijll [EMAIL PROTECTED] shaped the electrons to say... This solution, OTOH, should work: my $dt3 = DateTime-last_day_of_month( month = $month, year = 2002) -add( days = 1 ) -subtract( seconds = 1 ); And it does. (DT version 0.1402, perl 5.8.0, linux) It's broken with 0.1402 under Solaris 8 (SPARC). Works fine on HP-UX 11.00 and 11i -D -- Have the appropriate amount of fun.
Re: Constructor validation of parameters
* Dave Rolsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] shaped the electrons to say... _If_ it can't find finite() or isfinite() macros/functions, a piece that can be done in XS is done in Perl (_normalize_tai_seconds). Are you running on Win32 or HPUX? I know on both those platforms it ends up using the Perl version of that method. It works on HPUX. Broken on Solaris 8 -D -- Dondi5 I must keep track of all this cheese
