Do not continue unless you have carefully read the documentation. Using this module can cause strange errors unless you understand it properly. Here's an example: $dt = new DateTime::LazyInit( year => 2005, month => 32 ); Normal DateTime will die at this point. However there is NO VALIDATION in this module. It WILL NOT DIE .. YET! $dt->month; # 32 -- sure it's illegal, but it's what we asked for. $dt->add( days => 1 ); # DIE # NOW it will die because we're doing something complex with the object and we've inflated it into a full DateTime object. Full DateTime objects validate the parameters and THERE IS NO month 32! This message is repeated in the README file. ======================================================================= INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires DateTime.pm to be installed along with it's own dependencies COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2005 by Rick Measham This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself, either Perl version 5.8.7 or, at your option, any later version of Perl 5 you may have available.
