Subject: another "naytural" format
First, thanks for the module. I find it to be very useful. Here's a format that it doesn't parse: "12:01 a.m. EDT Sept. 20, 2008" This is how the publish dates are represented on marketwatch.com. I'd be willing to submit a patch, but I haven't had the time to dig into your module to see how it goes about its business.

Heh, didn't notice my typo in the subject. I suppose that it is a naytural format.

I think it would be doable, but not without a certain effort, which would probably involve primarly extending and tweaking the existing english grammar class; furthermore, in conjunction with such possible changes, additional tests, of course, would need to be written too. The main parsing and dispatching engine might also would require some work on the code it consists of, but I doubt that for now. The latest svn trunk (for ease of creating patches) is located at <http://svn.refcnt.org/stsc/perl/DateTime-Format-Natural/trunk/> Steven
