day and night could be viewed as another property of the time class or an assertion you could make against an instance of time, base on an artificial line between day and night.

I don't consider day and night to be artificial constructs, because nature does specific things during those times. For most bats, night is the time to wake up and start hunting, while it's time to go to sleep for a robin. The boarder between the two is fractal-like. If you can figure out the fractal's underlieing pattern, it should be easy to program your is_day and is_night methods, since fractal generators are surprisingly simple once you know the pattern. If you can't figure out the pattern, it'll be all but impossible without some artificial agreement.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
