dragonchild,
You may think it is a ridiculous requirement but I disagree. I am not going to defend the position but instead set it aside to see how well
DateTime fits the other criterion. Since
DateTime doesn't even have a parsing method that I can see, let's assume you meant
DateTime::Format::DateParse which isn't part of the
DateTime bundle.
- Written in pure perl - pass
- Is not part of a bundle of other un-wanted modules - pass since the bundle is quite small
- Well documented - fail
- Provides the ability to control behavior when multiple dates are possible - fail from my perspective (strptime)
So it fails 2 of the remaining requirements, the same as Date::Manip, but also doesn't satisfy my ridiculous requirement.
Swapped "dependencies" with "bundle" requirement
