Please send questions or bug reports to me rather than posting them to

a newsgroup since I may miss them there, BUT read the next paragraph

before you automatically start firing off email to me!

If you have questions about Date::Manip, refer to the Date::Manip manual.

Don't know what I'm talking about, or don't know how to access that?  Read

the perlpod man page.  Alternately, an online version of the Date::Manip

manual page is included on any CPAN site.

PLEASE read the man page thoroughly before emailing me.  If you've done

this, I'll be glad to answer any questions not covered or that are unclear

in the manual.

Date::Manip 6.xx represents a complete reorganization (and almost complete

rewrite) of the module. It includes the original functional Date::Manip

module, and a number of OO modules which now do the real work. The OO

modules may also be used directly, bypassing the functional interface.

As of 6.xx, Date::Manip has full support for all timezones in the standard

Olsen database (and also supports all Windows timezone names, and timezones

suggested by several other standards). Full support for daylight saving

time is included.

Please refer to the Date::Manip::Changes5to6 and Date::Manip::Migration5to6

man pages for a more detailed breakdown of changes made in 6.00, and

suggestions for a few changes which may be required to get existing code

to run using the new modules.

It should be noted that version 6.xx required perl 5.10 or higher.

Date::Manip 5.xx is integrated into the package (i.e. both 5.xx and 6.xx

are available in the 6.xx release), so Date::Manip will continue to run

(the old version only) on older versions of perl. Please refer to the

main Date::Manip document for more details.
