Hi,
First of all thank you for your answer, secondly, you're saying that this module is in the core since 5.10, but I'm using Perl 5.8.8, so I still can use it but I have to install it first right ?
And finally, could you please "validate" my code ? :
my $s = '20121018';
my $date;
eval { $date = Time::Piece->strptime("$s"); };
if ( $@ ) {
die qq{Error : the date doesn't exist or is not like YYYYMMDD\
+n}
}
else {print qq{date OK\n}} ;
Regards

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).
