Hi Noah,

using POSIX::strftime for the performance gain is a good point. I
actually just used the Date::Format variant because I also used
Date::Parse for easy input conversions.

I don't think this is very important, as setting date values is usually
not a frequent task (you don't do this 1 Mio times in your code), but
I've created a feature request just for remembering.
