Perl has functions to do this. If you are writing an import, use language native functions. For a "load data in file", just how would you expect this to work?

Hello All,

I'm just plugging away at a converion project where we are migrating to mySQL.
I am getting increasingly down on the poor support for importing dates into
mySQL. In the near future could we expect a function that is basicaly the
opposite to date_format where the first param is a date and the second param is
the format of that string. The function would return a mySQL compatible date
sutable to be used in an INSERT or UPDATE statement.

Thanks, Serge.
