The objects are in the "floating" timezone, and this cannot be changed. =head1 BUGS There seem to be lots of problems when dealing with infinite numbers on Win32. This may be a problem with this code, Perl, or Win32's IEEE math implementation. Either way, the module may not be well-behaved on Win32 operating systems. =head1 METHODS The only constructor for these two classes is the C method, as shown in the L. This method takes no parameters. All "get" methods in this module simply return infinity, positive or negative. If the method is expected to return a string, it return the string representation of positive or negative infinity used by your system. For example, on my system calling C returns a number which when printed appears either "inf" or "-inf". The object is not mutable, so the C, C, and C methods are all do-nothing methods that simply return the object they are called with. Obviously, the C method returns false and the C method returns true. =head1 SEE ALSO datetime@perl.org mailing list http://datetime.perl.org/ =head1 AUTHOR Dave Rolsky =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is Copyright (c) 2013 by Dave Rolsky.
