Hi Gregor, thanks for your detailled answer.

Interesting! I didn't know that.
However, unfortunately this isn't a solution with 6.11-1
because the result of the "parse" function returns "0" in this case.
(using a different invalid date returns "1" as it should)
Try
print $err, "\n";
in your example:
#v+
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; use warnings;
use Date::Manip;
&Date_Init();
#my $functional_date = ParseDate("2012-03-25 at 02:11");
my $oo_date = new Date::Manip::Date;
my $err = $oo_date->parse("2012-03-25 at 02:11");
# should return "1" but v6.11-1 doesn't:
print $err, "\n";
#v-
So, there's no way to check if the date was valid or not.

I disagree in the case of 6.11-1. :-)
Thanks,
Andy.
