| Subject: | Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Dates 0.03 can't handle MMDDYYYY |
The date validation in Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Dates seems to require delimiters between components:
MM/DD/YYYY works
YYYY-MM-DD works
but not MMDDYYYY or YYYYMMDD
Without the delims, you get a validation error even on correct date.
