NAME
    Data::FormValidator::Constraints::DateTime - D::FV constraints for dates
    and times

DESCRIPTION
    This package provides constraint routines for Data::FormValidator for
    dealing with dates and times. It provides an easy mechanism for
    validating dates of any format (using strptime(3)) and transforming
    those dates (as long as you 'untaint' the fields) into valid DateTime
    objects, or into strings that would be properly formatted for various
    database engines.

ABSTRACT
      use Data::FormValidator;

      # create our profile
      my $profile = {
          validator_packages      =>
[qw(Data::FormValidator::Constraints::DateTime)],
          required                => [qw(my_date)],
          constraints             => {
              # my_date is in the format MM/DD/YYYY
              my_date   => {
                constraint_method   => 'to_datetime',
                params              => [\'%D'], # some valid strptime
format string
              },
          },
          untaint_all_constraints => 1,
      };

      # validate 'my_date'
      my $results = Data::FormValidator->check($my_input, $profile);

      unless( $results->has_missing || $results->has_invalid ) {
        # if we got here then $results->valid('my_date')
        # is a valid DateTime object
        my $datetime = $results->valid('my_date');
        .
        .
      }
