Re: RFC-3339 Dates

The problem I ran into is the regular expression (at least I think it was
this way) kind of depended on being able to split the line on some white
space. I messed with the REGEX and just couldn't get it right. I can pretty
much spot the areas that need changed. It's how to change them that's
causing problems for me. I'll admit, I'm not a perl guy, and I'm only so-so
at regular expressions.
