So is $dur2 above an abstracted month? That is, it isn't really resolved into a specific number of days until applied to some real start date? Likewise, how many days long is $dur3 above? It would seem like it holds the real arithmetic in suspense until added to a specific date, yes? > >On Mon, Jun 30, 2003 at 12:20:43PM -0500, Dave Rolsky >wrote: >> > 2) Having a way to construct this directly would >be nice being able >> > to make a duration that you can not directly >construct seems odd. >> >> Well, maybe.
