in reply to On installing modules with CPAN.pm

plugged in some code based on the example from the POD, and the very first thing I find out is that DateTime::Format::DBI can't handle the 'MSSQL' datetime type.

So write DateTime::Format::MSSQL and put it on CPAN. It'll take you an hour or so, and when you're done, you'll probably never have to mess with it again.

Look, there's even a guide for writing formatting/parsing modules for the DateTime project, so you don't have to make any decisions ;)

    Or better yet, write an update for DateTime::Format::DBI and submit it to the original author.

      Actually, DateTime::Format::DBI is just a wrapper around other modules. For it to work with DatabaseX, there must be a corresponding DateTime::Format::DatabaseX module.
