Re^3: Anyone know how to get DateTime::Format::W3CDTF, or DateTimeX::Web to print localtime? (what was I thinking, learning moments)

Its a process and a puzzle :) Sometimes you're missing a corner piece, sometimes you need a break (or a nap), this is a learning moment, so it helps to be able to answer "what was I thinking" and write that down (don't have to share , but put it in your notes) ....

thats how checklists are born; sometimes they're general, more often they're about your thinking process; if you identify big ones, you can remember them for next time, so you'll know to take a break :) approach from a different angle ...

:) Cheers

Thanks for your thoughtful response. Actually, I'm suffering a massive headache. The worst part is; I wasn't drinking. So I'm suffering without having the benefit of having had a great time. :( Now having been given a little focus (the example above). It occurred to me, that given I almost always use `POSIX qw(strftime);` for any of my Date/Time related stuff. I could have simply done: `use POSIX qw(strftime); my $w3cstring = strftime "%FT%H:%I:%S", localtime; print $w3cstring;` [download] Which would have returned the equivalent: `2013-11-26T14:02:48` [download] In fact better; as I wasn't looking for the TZ. Which is appended, using the example provided earlier in this thread. Thanks again, for the thoughtful response. --Chris #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw use Perl::Always or die; my $perl_version = (5.12.5); print $perl_version;	[reply] [d/l] [select]

POSIX is great, but the microsoft strftime implementation doesn't have %F, maybe its important to you :)	[reply]

LOL. He imported all that stuff from UNIX to make Windows NT. But left out the %Fing %F %Figures. :) --Chris #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw use Perl::Always or die; my $perl_version = (5.12.5); print $perl_version;	[reply]
