We're discussing an amount of time.

I wasn't discussing anything, I was asking a question.

so 2007-11-07 plus one year is 2008-11-07.

Thanks. That's 366 days, so DM actually handles years properly.

I don't have an answer for months, but I'm going to assume they're handle properly (Jan 1st + 1 month = Feb 1st).

I don't have a crystal clear answer for days, but it sounds like days aren't handled properly — It's possible to add a day without a date change or add a day and have the date change by two days — and it's slated to be fixed.

It could be interesting to study the differences between DT and DM wrt the corner cases, but it's not what I was asking, and any interest and time I might have had has waned.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
