DateTime lets you specify a formatter, which is used whenever you print or stringify a DateTime object:

use strict;
use warnings;
use DateTime;
use DateTime::Format::Strptime;

my $start_of_week =
    DateTime->today()
            ->truncate( to => 'week' );
$start_of_week->set_formatter( DateTime::Format::Strptime->new(pattern
+ => "%d-%m-%y") );
    
for ( 0..6 ) {
    my $teden = $start_of_week->clone()->add( days => $_ );
    print "$teden\n";
}

This is useful when you print in many places of your code and want the same format. Remark: installing DateTime::Format::Strptime unleashed a cascade of dependencies on my Perl install...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
