Revision history for String-PictureFormat
1.00 2016-01-08
First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
1.01 2016-01-10
Fixed small error that caused tests to fail, added cpl. optimizations.
1.1 Added optional second format picture string for date/times in order
to specify what format to "unformat" date/times into if needing a
string result instead of a Perl/Unix time, ie. for database fields
that, for example, use VARCHAR(8) "yyyymmdd" instead of datetimes.
That and a few minor cleanups.
1.11 Redid the SYNOPSIS section to allow for copying and pasting into a
runnable script (closes bug#111125). Also added numerous in-
source code comments for better clarity.
Small fix so that justification does not default to right when
floatiing "$" and/or "," in numeric fields if "-nonnumeric" option
is set.
