ParseDate and Time

[Jason Williams]

Why don't ParseDate and Time play nicely together?

I'd have thought ParseDate could output a Time object, or at least
Time could accept the array that ParseDate emits. Am I attempting
things in the wrong way, missing something important, or using
the wrong classes/modules?

Cheers,
Jason.

I rarely use ParseDate directly and instead use Time.parse() from
time.rb (which is implemented using ParseDate).
