in reply to What DateTime::Format?

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.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. 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
