Your first option is not on the table.  The options on the table are:

  use DateTime;
  use DateTime::Parse::MySQL;
  my $dt = DateTime->from_mysql_datetime( $mysql_dt );
  print $dt->to_mysql_string();

or

  use DateTime;
  use DateTime::Parse::MySQL;
  my $dt = DateTime::Parse::MySQL->new_datetime( $mysql_dt );
  print DateTime::Parse::MySQL->mysql_datetime( $dt );

Frankly, I think the first one is a lot easier to use and makes more
sense.  It's the decorator pattern without the dispatching overhead!

Trying to catch up here a bit. It seems to me that the first option could just be a pass-through to the second.
