Fussy Date::Parse...

[DJ Stunks]

All,

I love Date:arse but it's struggling parsing what I consider to be a
pretty unambiguous date time that Date::Manip handles just fine...

C:\>perl -MDate:arse \
-e "print str2time('2/26/2007 14:38:13 PM') ? 'y' : 'n'"
n

C:\>perl -MDate::Manip \
-e "print UnixDate('2/26/2007 14:38:13 PM','%s') ? 'y' : 'n'"
y

C:\>perl -MDate::Manip \
-e "print UnixDate('2/26/2007 14:38:13 PM','%m/%d/%Y %T')"
02/26/2007 14:38:13

I don't really have a question because Date::Manip is ok, but I needed
epoch time.

Shouldn't that be 2:38:13 PM or just 14:38:13?

To it seems like Date:arse is doing the right thing, unlike Date::Manip.
