Hey guys, would you please update the documentation, for it does lead me astray, where as it is exactly doing what I supposed it would do…. it says: The parse_datetime() function converts a string to machine time. But it definitely returns a DateTime object. I spent quite some time (before trying) on how to go from ‘machine time’ to a DateTime object, if there were some convenient methods or should I have used DateTime->from_epoch. Couldn’t find the answer in the documentation or on StackOverflow, so I started trying… It worked! using DDP it even told me it was indeed a DateTime object… Grrr…. Could have saved me lots of time. Please change it into: The parse_datetime() function converts a string to a DateTime object.
