Depends on hat your criteria for "smooth" are, but I'd
probably use UnixDate() from Date::Manip.

(However, are you sure 10/10 is Tuesday?)

Depends on hat your criteria for "smooth" are, but I'd
probably use UnixDate() from Date::Manip.

Personally I would stick to the standard module Time::Local.

use Time::Local 'timelocal';
my @t = split /\D+/, '2004-10-10 12:14:23';
printf '%s, % 2s %s %d %s', ( split ' ', scalar localtime
timelocal reverse shift(@t)-1900, shift(@t)-1, @t )[0,2,1,4,3];

To the OP: Why do you want to convert *from* a universally readable and
ISO compliant format?

use Time::Local 'timelocal'; my @t = split /\D+/,
'2004-10-10 12:14:23'; printf '%s, % 2s %s %d %s', ( split '
', scalar localtime timelocal reverse shift(@t)-1900,
shift(@t)-1, @t )[0,2,1,4,3];

Well, of course each() to his own but

use Date::Manip qw(UnixDate);

my $date = '2004-10-10 12:14:23';
my $now = UnixDate($date, '%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S');

print "$now\n";

looks rather less opaque to me. As always it depends on what
problem you're trying to solve.

I use Date::Calc

Dunno if it is the smoothest way - but it very simple to use and it has a
huge set of functions.
