in thread What's "Better" DateTime or localtime?

After playing around with the Time::Piece Module for a bit I think I'm going to use that instead as you suggested.

It seems like there's a ton more Methods available for it including this one which is cool --> $date->mdy("/").
It looks like there is about, like 50-60 methods available for the Module so it seems pretty flexible...

I like it!

Thanks Again,
Matt

    Don't forget that Time::Piece delegates strftime() and strptime() too! :) 

    perl -MTime::Piece -le'print localtime->strftime("%m/%d/%Y %T")'
