And promptly disappeared from the earth in a Chip Salzenbergian move

I say to keep all of these.  They all serve different useful purposes.
There doesn't seem to be just one module that has:
 - fancy date printing
 - fancy date parsing
 - fancy date math

Date::Language is part of Date::Format, btw.  This was probably my

I'll leave this list to those who have actually used the modules.
