Subject: DateTime::Calendar

Shouldn't this be DateTime::Calendar::EraLegis? From the DateTime docs: Calendar Modules There are a number of modules on CPAN that implement non-Gregorian calendars, such as the Chinese, Mayan, and Julian calendars. All calendar modules start with "DateTime::Calendar::".
I don't believe so. However, I could be wrong as I'm not sure I fully understand the distinction between the two namespaces. This module does not actually implementing calendrical calculations other than taking a regular DateTime object and providing a method to express that time in terms of the Thelemic calendar. A module wherein you could specify: my $dt = DateTime::BlahBlah::EraLegis->new( sun_sign=> 'Aries', sun_degrees => 28, ...) is a project for another day. AFAICT, that's the one that would be under DateTime::Calendar. Thanks for the feedback. Please feel welcome to explain how those two purposes are not orthogonal.

Pinged Dave Rolsky about the issue. He says that given the current scope of functionality, the Format namespace is indicated, though ideally a full implementation of the entire calendar system under the Calendar namespace would be preferred.
