You'll rock when it will do that in at least 10 different languages and a variety of calendars. :)

Oh, the ingratitude

I know you meant it in jest, but this is the sort of thing that I really hate about the Perl community, and that draws me away from it. So quick to cut people down. I'm guilty of it too, I know, but it really does suck.
