If you want to replace DateTime with DateTime::Calendar::Mayan, you want to have at least comparable functionality. If you want your server logs, or your diary, or your system clock, to show Mayan dates, you also want to include a time. Perhaps I should have said: "If I want to use the Mayan calendar *now*, as a replacement for the Gregorian calendar, I also want a time system."? (I accept that it would be _wrong_ to include a time. But that doesn't mean it isn't right!) Eugene
