=head1 NAME

Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Dates - Validate Dates and Times

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	# In a Data::FormValidator Profile:
	validator_packages => [qw(Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Dates)],
	constraints => {
		date_and_time_field 	  => {
			constraint_method => 'date_and_time',
			params=>[\'MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss pp'], # 'pp' denotes AM|PM for 12 hour representation
		},
	}


=head1 DESCRIPTION

=head2 date_and_time

B<Note:> This is a new module is a new addition to Data::FormValidator and is 
should be considered "Beta". 

This constraint creates a regular expression based on the format string
passed in to validate your date against. It understands the following symbols:

	Y	year  (numeric)
	M	month (numeric)
	D 	day	  (numeric)
	h	hour
	m   minute
	s	second
	p	AM|PM

Other parts of the string become part of the regular expression, so you can
do perlish things like this to create mor complex expressions:

	'MM?/DD?/YYYY|YYYY-MM?-DD?'

Internally L<Date::Calc> is used to test the functions.
