in thread Date::Parse - how to correctly parse dates between 1901 and 1969

I am using Date::Parse to parse datetimes that may be in different formats. The dates have come in like YYYYMMDD, YYYY-MM-DD, YYYYMMDD HH:MM, etc. Time::Piece->strptime() requires a defined input format. Time::Piece would certainly work once the datetime is well formatted. Is there and advantage to Time::Piece over DateTime?

The only advantage is that it has been a core module since Perl 5.10 so it doesn't have to be installed from CPAN. I don't have much experience with Time::Piece and none at all with Date::Parse so can't really comment on usability. Cheers, JohnGG	[reply]
