I wouldn't say there was consensus ;) As I said previously, it's appealing from an _implementor's_ standpoint, and very logical, but I'm not sure that it actually makes for an API. At the moment, I'm leaning towards making the object mutable, either via: $dt->day(6); _or_ by just having one mutator sub: $dt->set( day => 6, hour => 7 ); -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
