Whoah... That *does* compile. new() is called, then format()... Scary. 
I wouldn't actually use that if I were you. Just my $0.02.

Regardless, I think that format() string is garbage in Class::Date 
land...

Code:
--------
use Control::DateTime;

# Bogus:
print new Control::DateTime->format("%Y-%02d-%02d");
print "\n";
# Good:
print new Control::DateTime->format("%Y-%m-%d");
print "\n";
--------

Output:
--------
2005-16-16
2005-08-16

Ya can't mix printf format stuff and Class::Date format stuff. They're 
different beasties.

Cheers,
