Announce: Handy time "normalization" module

["Eric Roode" <sdn.heaps13769@zoemail.net>]

Hello all,

    I just posted a new module, Time::Normalize, to CPAN.  It's no great shakes,
nothing revolutionary or flashy, but people may find it useful.  It provides
functions that accept date and time data in a variety of formats, and returns
them in standard, fixed ways, doing error checking and stuff so you don't have
to.

Examples from the README:

 ($y, $m, $d) = normalize_ymd (2005, 'jan', 7);
 # Returns '2005', '01', '07'.

 ($y, $m, $d, $w, $wn, $wn3, $mn, $mn3) = normalize_ymd ('05', 1, 7);
 # Returns '2005', '01', '07', 3, 'Friday', 'Fri', 'January', 'Jan'.

 ($h24, $m, $s, $h12, $am) = normalize_hms (13, 45);
 # Returns '13', '45', '00', 1, 'p'

 ($h24, $m, $s, $h12, $am) = normalize_hms (11, 45, undef, 'P.M.');
 # Returns '23', '45', '00', 11, 'p'

 ($y, $m, $d) = normalize_ymd (2005, 'February', 29);
 # Throws an error: Invalid day "29"
