Dave has started DateTime, and I'm working on Pugs modules DateTime::Span, DateTime::SpanSet and a new module called DateTime::Recurrence, as well as the base modules Span, Recurrence, and Set-Infinite. Everything is under the /ext directory.
I'm splitting the modules into a functional "implementation" class and a OO "api" class. I found this separation useful when writing tests and optimizing. The functional base objects can be memoized if desired, and it allows to have multiple implementations under the same api. - Flavio S.
