I didn't notice so I didn't write this, but though Time::Piece may be in
core, it's not in 5.8.x
> corelist -a Time::Piece
5.009005 1.11_02
5.01 1.12
If the argument there was "Time::Piece has /always/ been in core", I
would concede, but since it's only in the latest release, that would
defeat my purposes as well.
I doubt if I am the only person who might ask this question. Perhaps
you should add a comparison to Time::Piece to the POD?
Well, not that I'm trying to be terse...
but I need DateTime, not Time::Piece. I need something that resembles
DateTime, but faster, leaner, without XS. Time::Piece just wouldn't cut it.
Since XS rules out Time::Piece, I still don't see why /not/? Is there
any reason why?
