[Catalyst] Date fields in mysql

[Dmitri Pissarenko]

Hello!

I have a model class, which has one field of "date" type.

I'm trying to save data in this field using

my $activity = $c->model('TimeTrackingAppDB::Activity')->create({
  ...
  date => $dateAsString,
});

where $dateAsString contains a string in this format: "28-5-2007".

The date is not saved.

What can I do to save the date (how to convert a string into
something, which catalyst accepts as a date) ?

TIA
