I really think that is cool. Makes users think your app is really
smart. :)  I wanted to do that until I got around to a better way.=20
Ultimately I chose Time::Piece over Date::Manip. I think it was the
math capabilities.. I was writing a Punch Clock system. I love the
idea of it and will try your system sometime.  It looks like DateTime
is good at math.
