Hi, I'm trying to do something fairly simple, which is to add a duration and
a datetime object ... but after trying many experimental code permutations,
and reading the pod, I'm still obviously missing something here.
I create a DateTime::Duration object like so:
my $dur = DateTime::Duration->new( hours => $hours, minutes => $minutes);
Then attempt to add it to a datetime object ...
my $offset = $now + $dur;
But ... the hours value (often just 1) is never added to the offset ... and
when checking $dur->hours, it says the duration has "0" hours! What's the
deal?
The hours are converted internally into minutes. Of course, that should
still be reflected when you add it to another DateTime.pm object.
To get the hours out of the duration object, you can do:
$dur->in_units('hours');
