Proposal for a new, more rational calendar
http://henry.pha.jhu.edu/calendar.html This might be of interest. Doesn't look all that great to me. It has "leap weeks", but there's no way to calculate when they occur, so you have to have a hardcoded list of years which have it. Lame. OTOH, it does get rid of DST, which is good. The site itself is rather obnoxious, referring to farmers as "hicks", and including this choice quote: 3.)

Paging Claus Färber - DT::F::Pg bug #8516
I filed this bug on DateTime::Format::Pg about a month ago but I'm not sure Claus saw it. http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=8516 Basically, it looks like the internal subroutine _fix_second() is missing from the module. When it gets called as part of the public parse_time() method, kablooey! I'd supply a patch, but I'm at a loss as to what it was supposed to do. So Claus, are you out there somewhere? If not, can anyone tell me what _fix_second() was probably supposed to do? -John
