Returns the next time that this cron line is supposed to ‘fire‘
This is raw, 3 secs to iterate over 1 year on my macbook :( brutal. (Well, I was wrong, takes 0.001 sec on 1.8.7 and 1.9.1)
This method accepts an optional Time parameter. It‘s the starting point for the ‘search’. By default, it‘s Time.now
Note that the time instance returned will be in the same time zone that the given start point Time (thus a result in the local time zone will be passed if no start time is specified (search start time set to Time.now))
