But it's not tiny! (Score:1)

Each object you create has one SV, one HASH, up to eight HEKs, looks pretty heavy. Compare with Date::Manip where you are looking at a single PV for the important part, which is the ISO-8601 form.

  The "Tiny" part isn't necesarily a description of the objects that you create, but rather the size of the codebase to load into memory.
  
  Date::Manip - 4500k
  DateTime - 2500k
  Time::Tiny - 140k
  
  So while Date::Manip might have a slightly smaller object size, it's a monster to get into memory in the first place. Time::Tiny has a 4+ meg headstart.
  
  All of the ::Tiny modules were created because of similar modules.
  
  Config::Tiny vs Config::Simple and Config::General
  
  CSS::Tiny vs CSS
  
  And so on...
