Hello everybody,
I've just put up a version of DateTime::Format::Mail.
It's a formatter/parser for RFC 822 and 2822 datetimes,
although it will only format to 2822. I'm not sure
providing a way to format 822 is worthwhile.
The parser has two modes: strict and loose. Strict will only
accept 2822 and 822 style (with a few border line cases that parse
correctly but aren't strictly valid). Loose will parse a lot more.
Sample data was taken from a grep of my mail archive, which is
reasonably wide. There are some formats I'm not choosing to parse,
even with loose.
This is an rfc announcement, which means I'm still happy to change
anything, including the module name. I've just been sitting on
this module for a few weeks and want it out, so I don't guarantee
much cleanliness either =)
Usual place:
http://perl.dellah.org/modules/
http://perl.dellah.org/modules/DateTime-Format-Mail-0.23.ict
http://perl.dellah.org/modules/DateTime-Format-Mail-0.23.tar.gz
Bugs/comments/whatever to here or [EMAIL PROTECTED] - the rt.cpan.org
address won't be available until a proper cpan upload.
cheers,

Iain.
