Agreed (Representation is longer than I'd prefer).
Here are a few other candidate namespace options -- do any stand out?
DateTime::Format::MySQL->parse( ... )
DateTime::Representation::MySQL->parse( ... )
DateTime::String::MySQL->parse( ... )
DateTime::Text::MySQL->parse( ... )
I don't like String or Text as it is possible that there could be a
format
that is not text. Of the four, I prefer Format (although I can see
Dave's
point about some people getting confused).
Form, Formats, Idiom, Type, Mode, Style, Trans, Translate, IO, ...
Form is concise, works as noun & verb.
Formats (w/ 's') doesn't have the problem Dave pointed to for Format.
IO?
