It works for me using DateTime 0.55 and DateTime::Format::Strptime 1.2000 with ActiveState ActivePerl 5.12.0. D:\>type mayday.pl #!perl use strict; use warnings; use DateTime::Format::Strptime; my $dt = DateTime::Format::Strptime->new( pattern => '%d%b%y', time_zone => 'America/Chicago', locale => 'en_US', on_error => 'croak', )->parse_datetime('01MAY10'); print $dt, "\n"; D:\>perl mayday.pl 2010-05-01T00:00:00 D:\> Jim Monty
