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.
