DateTime::Moonpig is a thin wrapper around the DateTime module to fix problems with that module's design. The main points are:

• Methods for mutating DateTime::Moonpig objects in place have been overridden to throw a fatal exception. These include add_duration and subtract_duration, set_* methods such as set_hour, and truncate.

• The addition and subtraction operators have been overridden.

  Adding a DateTime::Moonpig to an integer n returns a new DateTime::Moonpig equal to a time n seconds later than the original. Similarly, subtracting n returns a new DateTime::Moonpig equal to a time n seconds earlier than the original.

  Subtracting two DateTime::Moonpigs returns the number of seconds elapsed between them. It does not return an object of any kind.

• The new method can be called with a single argument, which is interpreted as a Unix epoch time, such as is returned by Perl's built-in time() function.

• A few convenient methods have been added
