Hi all,
another problem altogether is that some people want a very comfortable
module, like, say, Date::Manip, and are willing to pay the price (i.e.,
a performance penalty) for that.
Others are working with mod_perl in very tight conditions both in terms
of memory space and time, they simply cannot afford a module like this.
Some of these people use Date::Calc instead, because it's relatively
small (the dynamically loadable library is about 80k) and fast, since
it is written in C (and XS), internally.
These two contradictory requirements above you'll never be able to
satisfy in a single module, I'm afraid.
So there are at least some good reasons for having several alternatives
for different extremes of the spectrum of what is a crucial trade-off.
Just my thoughts...
Regards,
