As other people have noted, what's happening is that  
DateTime::Format:Pg is parsing the dates you get out of Postgres, and  
handing you a DateTime object back.

You're then printing that with no formatting, as you're basically  
getting an ISO8601 timestamp out.

Have a look at the docs for DateTime and the associated  
DateTime::Format::XX things :)
