setting an object using datetime string?

I promise I've browsed docs, FAQs, and the list archives, but I simply can't determine whether or not DateTime provides a way to set a time using an ISO 8601 string (the same thing output by $dt- datetime()) without going through DateTime::Format::Strptime. Please remedy my density. -
