NAME
    SPOPSx::Tool::DateTime - SPOPS extension for arbitrarily formatted
    DateTime fields

SYNOPSIS
      %conf = (
          table_alias => {
              # ...
              datetime_format => {
                  atime => 'DateTime::Format::MySQL',
                  mtime => 'DateTime::Format::Baby',
                  ctime => DateTime::Format::Strptime->new(pattern => '%D %T'),
              },
              # ...
          }
      );

DESCRIPTION
    This module allows for DateTime objects to be stored to and loaded from
    a database field. This module differs from the SPOPS::Tool::DateConvert
    tool that is distributed with SPOPS in that it allows for the use of
    arbitrary DateTime format objects. (See <http://datetime.perl.org/> for
    details on DateTime and formatting.)
