Date::Manip's author replied that Date::Manip just doesn't handle daylight saving time correctly. Further, there's no way to detect when it's adjusting based on DST, so it's not easy to catch and fix. Kind of renders the module unusable for parsing dates that span daylight saving time. Are there any other modules that come close to Data::Manip's parsing abilities? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
