I've encountered this problem using Class::Date
Here's my code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# play2.pl
#
use Class::Date;
my $d2 = Class::Date->new('1935-12-23');
my $d1 = Class::Date->new('2008-12-17');
my $k = (Class::Date->new($d1)-$d2)->year;
print "\n$d2";
print "\n$k";
exit;
When $d2 is "1935-12-24", the correct value is returned. :-) Any date
older than 1935-12-24 is not correct. Of course, I say that having
tried only a few dates before 1935-12-24!
I' needing the donor's age in years... so I'm pretty sure I can get by
with adding 30 years to the birthdate year ("1965-12-23"), and the 44
return value can then be increased to 74.
Thanks for your help. I have enjoyed using Class::Date in several
programs.
