* Rewrite description, which was swiped from README and wasn't a very good
  fit for a package description, referring to old historical stuff and using
  the "my" pronoun. (Closes: #434110)

 Description: Time and date functions for Perl
- This distribution replaces my earlier GetDate distribution, which was
- only a date parser. The Date::Parse package contained in this distribution
- is far superior to the yacc based parser, and a *lot* faster.
+ The Date::Parse module can parse dates in a wide variety of input
+ formats, and many languages, though it is limited to only parsing
+ absolute dates. To parse relative dates, try Time::ParseDate.
  .
- The parser contained here will only parse absolute dates, if you want
- a date parser that can parse relative dates then take a look at the
- Time modules by David Muir on CPAN.
+ This package also includes Date::Format, which can format dates into
+ strings, and Time::Zone, which can contains miscellaneous timezone
+ functions.
