Subject: suggestion for improvement to 'compare' docs
Hello, here's a suggestion to improve the docs for 'compare' a little bit. In the opening code example there, "$dt1" and "$dt2" are used for the example DateTime objects. For much of the rest of the docs in that section, $a and $b and used instead. I would find it a bit clearer of one or the other sets of variables were used consistently. Thanks for your work on DateTime-- I expect to find it to be very useful for me.

$a and $b are only used in the context of providing your own sorting code for the sort() function. See "perldoc -f sort". Using $a and $b outside of this context is a bad idea, actually. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
