| Subject: | Feature request: way to add days |
Date::Manip::Problems documents the odd behaviour when adding days to a
date crossing a DST boundary. Rather than moving to the next calendar
day, Date::Manip adds exactly 24 hours, which can mean a time of 23:00
on the same calendar day.
This is clearly documented (if surprising), but it would be useful to
have a way to add days that follows the calendar rather than 24-hour
intervals. This is analogous to adding 'one month', which is not a
fixed number of seconds but varies with the calendar.
Perhaps a delta of '+1 calendar day' could be accepted. Similarly, a
delta of '+1 solar day' would explicitly indicate that you want a 24
hour period. Then the ambiguous '+1 day' could eventually be
deprecated, since it tends to catch people out.
