I'm not sure anyone is interested but I thought I would pass this
along. I have started using Class::DBI and was hoping I could also
use DateTime with it. Class::DBI has some hooks to allow for any type
of Object to represent Time. However the one limitation it has is

Okay, so maybe a new constructor then? DateTime-localtime()? Getting
the current local time seems more common than, say, constructing a
DateTime object from a day of the year, IMO :)
We have enough constructors as it is. I could be talked into:
DateTime-now( time_zone = 'local' );
But
Maybe there should be an extra accessor -link_name. (They're called
links in the TimeZone innards). Then when -time_zone_short_name is
called and it has no value, it return -link_name. Same for long_name.
I don't like that at all. You really should be creating new classes with your

I'd like to keep it separated. I believe it maybe useful outside the context of DT.
