in reply to Getting a date/time in a certain format in a Windows and Linux environment

If you have the authority to write code but not import modules, just include the relevant portions of Date::Manip into your own code directly.

    Before you even think of doing this, check whether Date::Manip's license allows it.

    Cutting and pasting code into yours brings up copyright issues. A good rule of thumb before doing something like this is to ask yourself, If slashdot got proof that Microsoft did X, would people be baying for blood? If the answer is "Yes!", then you probably should think twice.

      By that token, you may never dare do anything in the first place… ;-)

        Thinking twice is not the same as not doing it.

        And I don't consider thinking twice about everything to be a bad thing. :-P
