The parse_datetime routine in DateTime::Format::Excel is 100% when
converting dates from the Excel serial date format, but I found it
doesn't convert the time portion of a value, i.e. the decimal portion of
the float. For example, the following code:
my $datetime =
At a high level, recurring and single events don't have to have
different properties IMO, depending on how you structure the series of
event references. If you separate the event information from the

simply hold references to
I thought the first solution posted to your use Perl article was decent:
sub partition {
my ($start, $end, $n) = @_;
my $s = $start-epoch;
my $e = $end-epoch;
my $i = int( ($e - $s) / $n );# interval
return map DateTime-from_epoch(epoch = $s + $i * $_), 0 .. $n;
}
But I
Good info on using a Set. I meant to look at that after looking at the

much time.
Hiding the rounding error by replacing the last value with $end itself
was the solution in my second sub-routine, but it might not have been

I think the key to Perrin's issue is documented on the DateTime

These methods return numbers indicating how many of the given unit the

Jim,
You don't need to write your own module to handle these. Just use the
DateTime::Format::Strptime module. Modify the parser example below with a
pattern to suit your own format. $dt will hold your new datetime object with
the values parsed from your string format.

Wow - sounds like a bug to me. Ick.
A bug in what, though? DateTime-today is documented to behave like a
truncate-to-day operation, which implies setting to 00:00 local time.
Do you want to change the semantics of truncate? Or make -today
Dave,
I'm not sure I understood your last post. Did you mean that those
strftime methods only found in DateTime::Locale::Base are going away? Or did
you mean that strftime methods in DateTime proper are being deprecated and
removed? If yes to the later, is DateTime::Format::Strptime

I'm sorry all to reply to my own post. I should have read the original

Do you run the script via cron? If so, do you only see the timezone
error when running it via cron and not when running manually? If yes to both,
then I'd wager the routine you referenced is impacted by the shell path not
being the same for cron as for your login session. I
Ugh, I need more caffeine today it seems. Ignore my idiotic path comment.
Question of cron vs. non-cron still applies though? If nothing else but to
narrow the conditions under which your issue is occurring.

You can add the current year to your string value prior to parsing.
my $val = Sep 1 05:39:02;
# Grab the year either via exec or via DateTime, your choice
chomp(my $year = `date '+%Y'`);
# --or--
my $year = strftime('%Y',localtime(time));

Thanks. I'll adopt the DateTime based version in your second mail.
You're welcome.
Of course you could also alter you syslog config to include the year
Philip,
I'm just trying to understand your problem a bit more, so bear with me.
First, I think the trouble is that you technically can't have a date without a
month and day value, so storing them as undef wouldn't work well, at least not

I don't use this module, but check the docs on the as_list() method. The
