Re^2: RFC 822 date manipulation without DateTime module?by GhodMode (Pilgrim) |

When you mentioned it, I thought that strptime was exactly what I was looking for, but it's not actually part of the core POSIX module. It's just an extension. XML::FeedPP doesn't allow the text representation of the time zone, so it wouldn't solve this particular problem. It would save me a lot of effort if I had started with something like this, but I'm doing this more to learn how to program around an RSS/podcast feed than to actually get the job done. My main goal when I asked this question was to avoid introducing additional dependencies on the program rather than just to avoid DateTime. So, I'm not really looking for another module to do the job. I think that the answer is that Perl doesn't have this feature.
