from http://search.cpan.org/~drolsky/DateTime-0.4305/lib/DateTime.pm = $dt->year_with_era() Returns a string containing the year immediately followed by its era abbreviation. The year is the absolute value of ce_year(), so that year 1 is "1BC" and year 0 is "1AD". = I think you mean 1 is "1AD" and 0 is "1BC". . Also, for whatever it's worth, technically the "AD" should go befor ethe year, as in "AD 1960" -- though that's falling out of the common use. .

These methods are really kind of hacky. If you want to do it the right way use DateTime::Locale to generate locale-specific formats of dates. Unfortunately, I don't think the locale information includes a format for "year with era" yet, but you could submit some patches to the CLDR project ;) -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/
