This does the trick:

use 5.010;
use DateTime::Format::ISO8601;

say DateTime::Format::ISO8601
    -> parse_datetime('2012-02-25T18:48:34.835-05:00')
    -> strftime('%F %T');

However, note that you're dropping the time zone altogether! Unless you know that all the Atom entries have been posted from the same time zone, this is a bad idea.

An entry dated 2012-02-25T12:00:00+12:00 was written a full day earlier than one at 2012-02-25T12:00:00-12:00, yet using the conversion above, they'd both get formatted as 2012-02-25 12:00:00.

To solve that you could normalise them all to the same time zone before formatting. UTC is the time zone most commonly used for that purpose.

use 5.010;
use DateTime::Format::ISO8601;

say DateTime::Format::ISO8601
    -> parse_datetime('2012-02-25T18:48:34.835-05:00')
    -> set_time_zone('UTC')
    -> strftime('%F %T');

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
