Re^3: Timezone conversion in Perl

[dsheroh]

Not just "considered", the Date::Manip documentation has an entire "should I use Date::Manip" section in which the modules author explains at great length that Date::Manip is by far the most flexible date/time module out there, but also the slowest (in large part because of that extreme flexibility).

[autarch]

Well, that section more or less predates the DateTime project, to the best of my knowledge.

Date::Manip is quite slow, but the DateTime project has never made speed anywhere near as high a priority as correctness, completeness, and having a sane API.

The original poster didn't make it entirely clear what he wants to do, but the Perl Advent calendar article mentioned in another post is a decent pointer for using DateTime is a good start.
