 This is a lightweight version of DateTime.pm, which requires no XS, and aims to be light(er) than the original, for a given subset of the problems that the original DateTime.pm can solve. The idea is to encourage light users to use DateTime compatible API, while adapting to realistic environments (such as people without access to C compilers, people on rental servers who can't install modules, people who needs to convince pointy-haired bosses that they're not sacrificing performance), so later when they find engineering freedom, they can switch back to the more reliable DateTime.pm.
 
-Except for where explicitly noted, the API is mostly compatible with DateTime.pm.

-Please note that internally, this module is a complete rip-off of the original DateTime.pm module. The author simply copied and pasted about 90% of the code, tweaked it and repackaged it. All credits go to the original DateTime.pm's authors.
+Please make no mistake: THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR Datetime.pm. I will try to keep up with DateTime.pm, but DateTime.pm is the referece implementation. This is just stripped down version.

-We know why it's worth it to use DateTime. Some people don't, and will judge DateTime (and worse yet, maybe perl itself) unusable. We want to avoid that.
+Again, /we/ know why it's worth it to use DateTime. Some people don't, and will judge DateTime (and worse yet, maybe perl itself) unusable simply because it takes more memory to load DateTime. We want to avoid that.
