Regexp::Common::time v0.09 ========================== This is a Regexp::Common plugin that provides regular expressions for parsing dates and times. It can handle most date formats, such as: y/m/d m/d/y d/m/y 2005/04/02 4/2/2005 2/4/05 05.04.02 04.02.05 02.04.2005 2005 April 2 April 2, 2005 2 APR 05 05APRIL02 APR022005 02 April 2005 20050402 040205 02042005 ISO 8601 RFC 2822 2008-05-24T21:46:01 25 May 2008 21:46:01 +0500 It can also handle time formats like: 9:03:27pm 21:03:27 9:03 p.m. 21:03 9:03a Furthermore, you can easily piece together time and date component patterns (in the style of Time::Format or POSIX's strftime) to build arbitrarily complex custom regexes that can parse just about any time or date pattern imaginable.
