Because, in theory, the point here is to tell DBD::Sybase that you want ISO dates and get ISO dates back without having to invoke any post-selection data munging. You point, however, is well taken with respect to Michael's implemenation of the functionality behind the scenes. In theory, he should consider using an existing date module. In practice, there may not be a need to drag in a date/time framework for the logical equivilent of a couple of datepart calls, strung together. Either way, as long as is it fast and accurate, I don't really care how it is implemented.

Supporting standard date formats is good but why does it belong in DBD::Sybase? There are already a dozen modules for date conversions. -- Ed Avis <[email protected]>
