Anything called DT::F::Simple should parse everything Date::Parse can parse, at least, and not _too_ much more, because it should also be reasonably fast ;) I know Graham Barr will be happy to see this, because at OSCON he asked me when the DateTime project will make his TimeDate stuff obsolete ;) -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
