If you look at the rest of the nodes that I have written you will discover that I am a big Date::Manip fan.
That been said, I think that "slow" is a relative term. Yes it is big, but when ever I have implimented it into my scripts, I have found very little, if any, time lag. If you are trying to scrape every last clock cycle out of a huge script, you probably don't want to use it. But if a milli-second or so doesn't matter to you, the flexibility of Date::Manip makes it more than worth it. I can honestly say that I haven't used any of the other Date conversion modules, mainly because Date::Manip has everything that I need. I guess once you get to know a module, you kind of get stuck on it. Mind you that I am not knocking any of the other modules, I just think that for what you get out of it, Date::Manip is where it's at.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
