Re: My code seems messy...

Have you considered trying Date::Parse from CPAN? I don't know whether it supports all date formats that you might encounter, but it does handle several.

(Hmm... I thought perlmonks autolinked references to CPAN modules, but I guess not... What has to be done to get that?)

`[cpan://Date::Parse]` or `[module://Date::Parse]` . check out What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information? for all the autolinking support.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Aha! So that's the syntax... I found a reference to the cpan://Date::Parse notation, but missed that it needed brackets around it. Thanks!	[reply]
