Changable locale data...

2003-07-15 Thread Ben Bennett 

DateTime::Locale objects return references to internal data.  So if a
caller changes things through the ref subsequent calls will see the
bogus data.

I am not sure if this is a problem or not, but we should at least
document that the caller _must_not_ change things through the ref.
