Re: How translate datetime in Win32::OLE

BrowserUk's critique (below) is well taken. Nonetheless:

CPAN. Search ~~the "Date::..." and "Date..."~~ Variant realm; specifically http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/JDB/Win32-OLE-0.1709/lib/Win32/OLE/Variant.pm. (Also on ActiveState's repository for d/l and install using ppm.

This is NOT a question you should have needed to ask after your nearly five years here.

Of course, you might have found something special amongst those CPAN name spaces that I've missed, (but I doubt it). Think twice before making assumptions about "Date"s, when "Win32" (and especially "OLE") is also involved.
