If you're using something like Catalyst, I'd pass the DateTime
object down to the view, and let it decide how to format it.
Sounds like something for a TT snippet - but how do I call the
DateTime object in the template (yes I'm using Cat)?
The DateTime object has a dmy() method which should format the date
how you want it (dd-mm-yyyy), so displaying it should be pretty
straightforward.
In your previous code you were doing something similar to this in
your controller:
while ( my $hits = $rs->next ) {
push @hits, $hits->date;
}
That should fill @hits with DateTime objects. Assuming you stick
@hits into your stash, then in your template you can do:
[% FOR hit IN hits; %]
Date: [% hit.dmy(); %]<br />
[% END; %]
That should display a list of all of the dates, formatted how you
wanted.
