Do you have to use list?  If not, take a look at dput, maybe?

 Hi all,

 From DateTimeClasses help:

Class "POSIXlt" is internally a list [1] of vectors with components 
named sec, min, hour for the time, mday, mon, and year, for the date, 
wday, yday for the day of the week and day of the year, isdst, a 
Daylight Saving Time flag, and sometimes (both _optional_) zone, a 
string for the time zone, and gmtoff, offset in seconds from GMT

If I unlist(x), where x is a POSIXlt object, I get that list, internal 
representation of x.

Is there an inverse function returning the POSIXlt object from that 
list?

Thank you!

Best,

Iago
