Heh, I contacted the author of that module too but he never replied. >> Would you mind posting something to the [email protected] list to >> discuss both the name and API of your module?

What are the suggestions? Well, if you want it in the DateTime:: namespace, we should discuss the API first on the list. The key is to make sure that the API looks like any similar modules. In this particular case, I'm not sure there _are_ any similar modules, which is all the more reason to get the API right this time, so that any similar modules that come along later have a model to follow. -dave /*========================== VegGuide.Org Your guide to all that's veg ==========================*/
