Re: Perl subdirectory?



Given that the Perl people seem intent on building a separate little module for each bit of API functionality (Java by contrast builds a couple of thousand of these into its standard runtime "rt.jar"; will there be literally thousands of Perl modules?), we may need to have to find a different way of organizing the ports tree, or "p5-*" is going to seriously overwhelm the rest of the packages. Maybe we should think about putting perl-objects into a subdirectory? Plus, won't they start being "p6-" some month soon?

No offence to Nikolay, who is doing a great job committing all kinds of stuff!

    Initial import of Date-Simple 3.00

    This module may be used to create simple date objects. It
    only handles dates within the range of Unix time. It will
    only allow the creation of objects for valid dates.
    Attempting to create an invalid date will return undef.
