Well
Uxix is actually a misspelling it'd be "Unix" - but I assume that's a
typo, as Date::Manip no longer needs to have UnixDate exported. The rewrite
of Date::Manip from 5 to 6 moved it to Date::Manip::DM6 so in
perldoc Date::Manip::DM6
UnixDate
$out = UnixDate($date,$in);
@out = UnixDate($date,@in);
This takes a date and a list of strings containing formats
roughly
identical to the format strings used by the UNIX date(1) command.
Each format is parsed and an array of strings corresponding to
each
format is returned.
The formats are described in the Date::Manip::Date document.
So you can just drop the qw-ed name list.
