Install errors in DateTime::Locale
Hi all- I'm stuck on DateTime::Locale install. Error is: t/01basicok 5/7101Can't locate object method "catfile" via package "File::Spec" (perhaps you forgot to load "File::Spec"?) at t/01basic.t line 52. There is in fact no use File::Spec in that test script, so when I add that I fix that error, but get this one: Can't call method "set" on an undefined value at t/01basic.t line 158.

Did both of it. But shouldn't we provide the options hash to new() instead?

Yeah, you're probably right.

Could you elaborate some more about it; I currently don't grasp the meaning
of your words provided above.

Re: ANN: DateTime::Span::Birth
I picked the name to keep sync with Date::Range::Birth, but Birthdate was another candidate. I wouldn't mind renaming the module to increase my CPAN distro count :) On 10/26/06, Dave Rolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Thu, 26 Oct 2006, Tatsuhiko Miyagawa wrote: > DateTime::Span::Birth 0.01 is now going to CPAN.

ANN: DateTime::Span::Birth
DateTime::Span::Birth 0.01 is now going to CPAN. This module is a port of Date::Range::Birth, which allows you to build a range of dates for birthdays of people with particular age. This makes it easy for you to build an SQL query for example, to select teenager users from your database which has 'birth' column as datetime. # build a datetime span for teenagers use DateTime::Span::Birth; my $span = DateTime::Span::Birth->new(from => 13, to => 19); # build an SQL query in a raw way my $sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE birthday >= ? AND birthdy <= ?" my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql); $sth->execute($span->start->ymd, $span->end->ymd); The code is also available in my subversion repository: http://svn.bulknews.net/repos/public/DateTime-Span-Birth/trunk/ -- Tatsuhiko Miyagawa

I'd also want it to have an interface more like the other DT::Format modules. Agreed upon. I saw that you uploaded a new version with this name. The one other thing I'd like to see to make it "fit in" is to make parse_datetime a class method (at least optionally). Also, rather than taking a hash ref of options, how about just making it check the number of args, so we can do something like this: ->parse_datetime($string) ->parse_datetime( string => $string, debug => 1 ); This would be more like all the other modules. It's quite possible you'll need more options in the future. For example, you might want to have a parameter that allows people to specify whether dates are in mdy or dmy order. One thing I was thinking was that maybe eventually there could something like this: DateTime::Format::Natural->parse_datetime( string => $string, locale => $dt_local_object ); The module could use the locale to figure out what module to load, or maybe it could construct a parser based on info in the locale.

Re: parenthesis in DateTime::Format::Strptime
Hm, you might want to make it backward compatible, not to escape them
if it's already escaped.
