Time::Format version 1.02
========================= Time::Format provides a very easy way to format dates and times. The formatting functions are tied to hash variables, so they can be used inside strings as well as in ordinary expressions. The formatting codes used are meant to be easy to remember, use, and read. They follow a simple, consistent pattern. If I've done my job right, once you learn the codes, you should never have to refer to the documentation again. A quick-reference page is included, just in case. ;-) Time::Format can also format DateTime objects, and strings created with Date::Manip. Also provided is a tied-hash interface to POSIX::strftime and Date::Manip::UnixDate.
