[rt-devel] Customizing Business::Hours

[Ruslan Zakirov]

Hi,

A few comments:

1) there should be empty line between POD and code

2) The following can be written in one line "my $t = shift || time;":

 ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅my $t = shift;
 ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅
 ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅unless ( $t ) {
 ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅ ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅$t = time;
 ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅}

3)  I would prefer 4 spaces rather than tabs, but can convert it before
applying

4) all commented code should be deleted before it goes into repository

5) in the following line $end can be "my $end = $start+24*60*60" rather
than function call:

my $end = timelocal_nocheck(59,59,23, at t_array[3..5]);

6) bday_end has problems if business day spans over midnight

7) bday_end needs better name without shortings

8) again is_business_day_after and is_business_day suffer from assumption
that business day can not span over midnight.

As far as I recall in the latest version we support 24/7 setups with Start
=> 06:00, End => 06:00. At least I recall doing something about business
hours spanning over midnight.

To be included it really need tests.

Some comments below.

Not a bad place.

I think main sub is very specific for your use case. Instead I would prefer
last_after method that is similar to first_after.

One concern I have is about the timezone. Simply I didn't mind about it,

The module uses localtime so timezone can be controlled from outside by
changing TZ variable and calling POSIX::tzset. There is experimental code
in SLA repository to deal with multiple timezones.
