This module catches them. The idea is simple, it provides its own loaded versions of localtime() and gmtime() which return trick years. If this year is used in a manner which is not "cross-decade compliant", your program will die with an error. This is a thin legacy wrapper around D'oh::Year. Use that instead. =head1 SEE ALSO L =head1 AUTHOR Michael G Schwern =cut return 19100;
