Interesting idea! This could be very useful in other places as well.

I have used Time::Piece in the past as well, but the CDBI wiki
mentioned Class::Date so I thought I'd give it a try. For what I'm
doing now I think I either one would work. The annoying thing about
Time::Piece is that it likes to throw "found garbage at..." if you
pass it more data than it's expecting. And the error message is
spectacularly unhelpful if T::P can't parse the string.
