Hi,

I have the following code that takes a SQL datetime stamp and reformats it. The code works fine, however it seems a bit clunky, what other ways are there to achive the same result.

        my $datetime = '2009-09-22 20::45::30';
        my ($date,$time) =  $datetime =~/(.+\s)(.+)/;

        $date =~ s/^\s+|\s$//;
        my @print_date = split ("-",$date);
        @print_date = reverse @print_date;
        print join ("/",@print_date) ."[$time]";

[download]
Format in = '2009-09-22 20::45::30'

Reformated out = 22/09/2009[20::45::30]

Thanks Skywalker
