[Classiccity-pm] Compiled perl modules

[Linda Dubes Law]

I will go ahead and admit that I did not think of doing that.  We might run into some troubles with our reporting and leap times but nothing that can't be fixed.  I will probably confuse myself for reports that run on less than 24 hour schedules or skip weekends but that's what fun about being me.  

Leave it to Paul to understand the need to keep it simple.  Of course, that is what I thought Date::Calc would do for me but not if I can't get it there!

Thanks, 

Linda

You've no doubt already dismissed this, but just in case-

Depending how accurate you have to be, as long as your dates are all 1970 or later you could convert the date to a UNIX epoch number, add or subtract 86,400 seconds for each day, and convert back.  I think you'd run afoul of leap seconds and maybe even leap years, but maybe for your purpose you don't care?  Just a thought.
