Don't know what I'm talking about, or don't know how to access that?  Read
Packit 95306a
the perlpod man page.  Alternately, an online version of the Date::Manip
Packit 95306a
manual page is included on any CPAN site.

PLEASE read the man page thoroughly before emailing me.  If you've done
Packit 95306a
this, I'll be glad to answer any questions not covered or that are unclear
Packit 95306a
in the manual.

Date::Manip 6.xx represents a complete reorganization (and almost complete
Packit 95306a
rewrite) of the module. It includes the original functional Date::Manip
Packit 95306a
module, and a number of OO modules which now do the real work. The OO
Packit 95306a
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
Packit 95306a
Olsen database (and also supports all Windows timezone names, and timezones
Packit 95306a
suggested by several other standards). Full support for daylight saving
Packit 95306a
time is included.

Please refer to the Date::Manip::Changes5to6 and Date::Manip::Migration5to6
Packit 95306a
man pages for a more detailed breakdown of changes made in 6.00, and
Packit 95306a
suggestions for a few changes which may be required to get existing code
Packit 95306a
to run using the new modules.
Packit 95306a
Packit 95306a
It should be noted that version 6.xx required perl 5.10 or higher.
Packit 95306a
Packit 95306a
Date::Manip 5.xx is integrated into the package (i.e. both 5.xx and 6.xx
Packit 95306a
are available in the 6.xx release), so Date::Manip will continue to run
Packit 95306a
(the old version only) on older versions of perl. Please refer to the
Packit 95306a
main Date::Manip document for more details.
