  • The idea was that you could have a program where you loaded Time::Piece and it wouldn't matter how you used it, it would be natural. I guess I can't account for programmer error :-)
    • Can you just put a note writ large to remind baffled hackers that in a list context you'll get a list rather than an object? I know it's kind of mentioned, but a big noticable reminder would probably save dumb programmers a lot of time.. It's always the silly mistakes that eat most time. *sigh*
