+Koha::DateUtils - Transitional wrappers to ease use of DateTime
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Koha has historically only used dates not datetimes and been content to
+handle these as strings. It also has confused formatting with actual dates
+this is a temporary module for wrappers to hide the complexity of switch to DateTime

+=head2 dt_ftom_string
+
+$dt = dt_from_string($date_string, [$format, $timezone ]);
+
+Passed a date string returns a DateTime object format and timezone default
+to the system preferences. If the date string is empty DateTime->now is returned
