Обсуждение: pgsql's datetime perl equivalent ?

Thomas,

do you know if there are perl equivalent for datetime validity check ?
I use Date::Parse to validate datetime stuff I insert into postgresql,
but seems postgres is smarter. For example,
'Mon, 23 Nov 1998 08:37:16 -5:00' if fine for postgresql but
produces error in Date::Parse :-)
Regards,    Oleg

Date::Parse is not parsing it because of your timezone: "-5:00"
is not legal; according to ISO 8601 it should be one of:
+HH:MM, +HH, -HH:MM, -HH
(see the TIMEZONES section in perldoc Date::Manip for a complete list)

Just add a zero before the five and Date::Manip and postgresql 
will be more than happy to play with the date.
