Re: [mh] DateTime::Locale

Thanks Brian,

I was afraid it was distributed throughout the code. I was just looking 
for a convenient compromise between "out ot the box" for those who only 
use perl for mh and telling mh to only use the users perl libs for those 
who use perl for other things. I will just change modules one at a time 
as I run into errors in the future, at least now I know to look in libs 
first for this kind of issue.

I use perl for a lot of cgi stuff monitoring my house, temps and heavy 
users, and in hindsight I know that many of my scripts use DateTime 
heavily and I have used it in some of my mh stuff as well so at least 
now I know. As time permits I will look at the suggestions you have made 
and maybe gain a little more familiarity with the guts of mh at the same 
time.

Thanks Again

Paul
