Re: Date conversion

There are probably seven such modules. You can predict the names of such modules picking various name elements from a fuzz table. Search CPAN. http://search.cpan.org/

Text        Parse        Time
Date        Format       Date
Time    ::  Date     ::  Parse
Parse       Time         Format
Format      Text         Text
[download]

I'm only half in jest.

Using a date module to do such a straight-forward reformatting?? That's a bit like converting your text from English to German and then back again in order to get rid of your dangling participles just because you have such a module and you know it can be told to not dangle when doing the German-to-English step. `my %mon; @mon{qw/ jan feb mar apr may jun jul aug sep oct nov dec /}= '01'..'12'; s#\w{3} (\w{3}) (\d+) ([\d:]+) (\d+)#$4-$mon{lc $1}-$2 $3#` [download] - tye	[reply] [d/l]
