 0.1704 is really broken so try it again with 0.1705 just to

Oh dear!!
I have installed the new DateTime update and tests for sunrise
fail :(

the 04 version was working. Here is the results

 BTW, how about adding a simple formatter to DT::Duration,
 something like a stripped down DateTime::Format::ICal-format_duration ?

This would be really good. I actually rolled my own duration for some
subtractions I was doing because I wasn't real happy with the current one.
I'd like to be able to do things like:

$dd-normalise( base = $dt );
Which would turn 26 hours into 1 day, 2 hours. 
Which would turn 34 days into 1 month, 3 days if base is in a 31 day month

$dd-as_seconds
Returns the duration in fractional seconds. 1 days becomes 86400.00

$dd-seconds
Return the seconds in the duration. If we've normalised, this will be
between 0 and 59

$dd-as and $dd-___ would also exist.

Then there'd be
$dd-as( 'hours', 'minutes');
returning as array where the duration is returned as hours and minutes. The
last element of the array would be a float.

Cheers!
Rick

 It's not hard, just a little bit of math.  I'm more concerned with the
 API.  I don't like the one you have up there, but I don't want to just
 change the existing syntax either, maybe something like:
 
  $dt1-subtract_datetime( $dt2 ); # current behavior
 
  $dt1-subtract_datetime( datetime = $dt2,
   units = [ qw( days minutes nanoseconds ) ] );

I didn't really like my API either, but a function with two different
API's isn't very nice either. I can live with both, though, if there is
no better solution.
