When last I checked, none of the DateTime::Format modules would jump out of your computer and bite you when applied wrongly, so why don't you try them and see what works? Also reading their docs seems like a good idea. Have a look at DateTime::Format::DateParse, DateTime::Format::Flexible and DateTime::Format::Natural as well.

There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James	[reply]
