Question

Using the example code included in the man page for DateTime::Astro::Sunrise, I’m getting back ~14:00 for the sunrise and ~2:00 for the sunset.

My machine’s time and timezone are set correctly (AFAIK).

Am I reading something wrong? 2am and 2pm are just so brutually wrong.

use DateTime;
use DateTime::Astro::Sunrise;

my $dt = DateTime->new( year   => 2010,
                                month  => 3,
                                day    => 15,
                         );
my $sunrise = DateTime::Astro::Sunrise ->new('-117','33',undef,1);

my ($tmp_rise, $tmp_set) = $sunrise->sunrise($dt);

printf "%s\n", $tmp_rise;
printf "%s\n", $tmp_set;

Sorry, without any sample code, I can’t say what you are doing wrong.

An alternative, Astro::Sunrise has been working well for me, and appears to be slightly more mature.
