For information on installing Date::Manip, see the INSTALL file included in the distribution. For other documentation, see the Manip.pod file. 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 pod file. Don't know what I'm talking about? Read the perlpod man page. Alternately, an online version of the Date::Manip man page is included in my home page given below. PLEASE read the man page thoroughly before posting any questions about Date::Manip to a newsgroup or emailing me. If you've done this, I'll be glad to answer any questions not covered or unclear in the man page. ** IMPORTANT NOTE (5.35) ** I am considering going OO... so everyone should use the appropriate functions (UnixDate, Date_Cmp, Delta_Format) to extract information from dates and deltas. Any script which parses a date or delta as a string will stop working when/if I make this change. Even if I don't, the internal format for both will change, so the above routines should be used. Notes for version 5.40: Bug fix release. No significant new functionality. ############################################################################ If you would like to stay informed about future versions of this module, and especially if you are interested in beta testing future versions, please let me know by email at: sbeck@cpan.org The newest version (which should be considered a beta version) is available through my home page: http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~sbeck/ Feel free to try it out. The current (non-beta) version of this module is available from you nearest CPAN site and is NOT available from my home page. I will announce new (non-beta) releases in comp.lang.perl.misc and comp.lang.perl.announce. ############################################################################ All documentation is now contained in the Manip.pod file so I don't have to keep it up-to-date in two places.
