XMLRPC::Lite does not maintain data type for datetime.

Ie something like:
my $date = $server->call('getDate');
$server->call('sendDate', $date);

Fails because $date gets converted from datetime type to string type.

Frontier::Client is an example of a module without this bug. It's implementation choice was to return dates as objects rather than base perl types.
