tye,
Did you not find the documentation for Date::Manip or did you just not read it?

Since I quoted from it in my post, let's assume I found it and read parts of it. I have, at one point or another, read all of the documentation. I am guilty of not spending a lot of time with the source code.

It seems like my real crime is laziness. I am not interested in seeing a list of all the formats it supports. I am interested in a list of ambigous formats and settings to modify to specify which one to use. I want to be able to look at a table and that says if your string looks like this the module will see at as X. If you want Y then change this setting to Z. This is apparently a pipe dream.

Cheers - L~R
