DateTime::TimeZone::POSIX
Hallo, is someone working on a module that takes timezone strings from the environment variable TZ as defined by POSIX: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html Claus -- http://www.faerber.muc.de
RE: DateTime::Event::Sunset problems
Hi Matt, [snipped] If not, at least make sure that the module clearly states the UTC behavior. Matt It does, from the POD See DateTime::Set. =head2 ($sunrise, $sunset) = $sunrise_object-($dt); Internal method. Returns two DateTime objects sunrise and sunset. Please note that the time zone for these objects is set to UTC. So don't forget to set your timezone!! =head1 AUTHOR Ron Hill
Re: DateTime::TimeZone::POSIX
Not that I have seen. This would be tricky to do right. I don't think you can make arbitrary timezones easily. Ideally the right thing to do would be to parse the TZ string and find the Olsen entry that matches it, then use the Olsen ID. In the cases where that does not exist, then you would have to make a timezone object up that represents the rules for the TZ. Perhaps you can simply do this each time you parse a TZ... Nonetheless, I think being able to parse TZs would be a great thing for the DT project. -ben On Thu, Sep 25, 2003 at 12:49:00PM +0200, Claus Färber wrote: Hallo, is someone working on a module that takes timezone strings from the environment variable TZ as defined by POSIX: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html Claus -- http://www.faerber.muc.de
RE: Install Problem with DateTime.pm
Hello, [snipped] I'm stumped.. I have a problem installing DateTime.pm. I get a LNK1106 U1077 with the 'nmake' command. The messages for PERL- V and 'nmake' are below. I am using Windows XP and VC++ 5 I have plenty of available space on my hard drive and there are no integrity problems. I have searched google and found some references to upgrading to VC++ 6 would solve the problem, but before I spend the cash, I would like some conformation of that. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Got a solution? [much snippage] It seems that you are running the activestate version of perl. The question now is did you install the precomiled version of perl or did you download the source and build perl yourself? If you installed the prebuild version of activestate perl then you need to use the VC++ 6 to build your modules. You can use ppm to install the DateTime modules unfortunately, I have not built them yet [for that version of perl] :( Ron Hill
