DateTime::Span question

[Oliver Raupach]

Hi !

I have to do some checks every minute. For maintenance I have to define a
blackout-period with
no checks (example: blackout start 22:00, end: 23:00, interval: daily).

I have had a look at DateTime::Span, but unfortunately I'm a little bit
confused...

I build a "Span":

$iso8601 = DateTime::Format::ISO8601->new;
$blackout_dt_start = $iso8601->parse_datetime( "22:00" );
$blackout_dt_end = $iso8601->parse_datetime( "23:00" );
$span = DateTime::Span->from_datetimes( start => $blackout_dt_start, end =>
$blackout_dt_end );

and made the checks:

while (1)
{
    my $dt_now = DateTime->now;
    if ( $span->contains( $dt_now))
    {
       print " Inside Blackout...no checks !";
    }
    else
    {
       print " Outside Blackout...";
       do_check();
    }

    sleep (60);
}

My question: how to build recurring "span" for every day? I have had a look
at DateTime::SpanSet but there
is no method "from_span_and_duration" like the existing method
"from_set_and_duration"....
