None that I can think of. > - Can I make them singleton? Locale objects are cached during 'load' so that the same object may be shared between multiple DTs. This cache gets dumped when: a new locale is registered, an alias is added, an alias is removed. So it may very well be a win to make DateTime::Locale objects true singletons but you probably won't notice a difference unless your screwing around with custom locales. You might want to seek Dave's opinion before putting effort into a patch. > - Can I make parameters like en_language, en_territory, > en_complete_name, et al class variables, and do away with any instance > variables? That data needs to be unique per locale object. Cheers, -J --
