DateTime::Event::Basic - A base class for building Event classes.
- Provides generic things like
new( event = 'type', %param )
as_set( span = $span )
as_list( span = $span )
is( datetime = $dt )
closest( datetime = $dt )

Syntax sugar - these could be project wide:
Whenever a span is required, accept start/end/after/before parameters
too.
Whenever a datetime is required, accept
year/month/day/hour/minute/second parameters too.

Ages ago I proposed that we might need to distribute
Bundle::DateTime

auto-install (which I think DBI does?)
It may also be useful

For the strings that are used to create new Date::ICal instances (eg

There is the Date-Time section (4.3.5) from RFC2445

Hi Dave,
I am seeing warnings when building some Datetime perl modules
under 5.8.0. They were not there for version 5.6.1.
Can I ignor them?

Only if it has methods that can change the internal object state after
it's created, like DateTime.pm's set(), set_time_zone(), etc.

Yes, all tests pass :-) I did not think this would be a problem

Offhand, -set(), -add(), -subtract(), accessors for each component

Why does from_object take a language parameter? Cut and paste-o? It's

Some other things I noticed:
Baktun's are numbered 13, 1, 2, 3, ..., 12 (and repeat). Yours are
numbered -inf, ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ..., +inf, so the module will only
