Date::Format allows to say as an Option for example 'german'
Date::Format->language('German');
which causes a format of like "%A, den %d. %B %Y" to display as 'Mittwoch, den 13. Februar 2002'
And thats just noted in the POD. So simply change this option to english and you get the date in english, ok, there you need to provide a different Format though. But could it be any easier than this?
Have a nice day
