I agree with putting it on the wiki .. there's been times when I wanted to add to it, but (IIRC) that will mean checking out the cvs and submitting a patch. It's a pity to lose the tests though ..

ANNOUNCE: DateTime::TimeZone 0.38
0.38 2005-11-21 - Trying to create a DateTime object during DST exactly 11 years in the future (really, 1 year after the end of the pre-generated TZ change data that ships in the package) cause an error. Reported by Daniel B Boorstein. - This release is based on version 2005n of the Olson database. - Added a new method, has_dst_changes(), which indicates whether a given zone has any DST changes. -dave /*=== VegGuide.Orgwww.BookIRead.com Your guide to all that's veg.

There's probably a bunch of other stuff that could move the wiki too, including: * list of modules - http://datetime.perl.org/modules.html * docs for datetime devs - http://datetime.perl.org/developer/ * links - http://datetime.perl.org/resources.html In fact, pretty much the whole site, I think. Anyone want to make a "datetime" Kwiki theme? -dave /*=== VegGuide.Orgwww.BookIRead.com Your guide to all that's veg. My book blog ===*/
moving FAQ to the wiki?
I was thinking this might be a good idea. The one thing we'd lose is the tests built into the FAQ for testing examples. This is a really nice feature, but I think the benefits of moving to a wiki are bigger. Any objections? -dave /*=== VegGuide.Orgwww.BookIRead.com Your guide to all that's veg. My book blog ===*/

That depends on what kind of seconds you are counting. It is right if you are counting mean solar seconds. See http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/onlinebib.html#POSIX
