  • sub partition {
        my ($start, $end, $n) = @_;
        my $s = $start->epoch;
        my $e = $end->epoch;
        my $i = int( ($e - $s) / $n );    # interval
        return map DateTime->from_epoch(epoch => $s + $i * $_), 0 .. $n;
    }
    ?

    • What's the point of having classes to handle date arithmetic if you have to convert back into numbers in order to do the math?

      That works, but one shouldn't have to go to those lengths.
