I have had to do this so often, I created a simple little sub that I pass to
the template.
sub fixDate {
my $class = shift;
my @it = split(/-/, shift);
my @ti = split(/ /,$it[2]);
my @time = split(/:/, $ti[1]);
my $suffix = 'am';
if($time[0] > 12){
$time[0] -= 12;
$suffix = 'pm';
}
elsif($time[0] == 00){
$time[0] = 12;
$suffix = 'am';
}
return "$it[1]/$ti[0]/$it[0] $time[0]:$time[1]$suffix CST";
}
Then in TT:
[% fixDate(article.date) %]
No sense even loading the Date module, unless you use it for other things
too.
You may want to change the "CST" to whatever you want. Or create a hook to
return the right zone for the users timezone.
I would also suggest Memoizing the function if it's to be used on list
iterations.
