More importantly, Time::Piece->strptime returns a Time::Piece object, which is much less useful than a DateTime object. Implementing DateTime::Format::StrptimeXS using the code from Time::Piece would be relatively trivial. It'd still be a fair bit slower than Time::Piece since constructing a DateTime object is definitely slower than constructing a Time::Piece object. -dave /*=========================== VegGuide.Org Your guide to all that's veg. ===========================*/
