Question: I'm using freeglut and glew32 in Visual Studio 2017, however, I have to include libraries and edit properties every time I open a new project. Is there a way to set it once and forever?

Answer: 
Please try this out:

```
use Date::Parse qw(str2time);
use Date::Format qw(time2str);

my $string = '2019-02-28T08:42:57+0000';

my $time = str2time($string);
my $date = time2str("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", $time);

print $date;

```
With [Date::Manip](https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Date-Manip/lib/Date/Manip.pod):

```perl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use Date::Manip:.Date;

my $date = new Date::Manip::Date;
$date->parse("2019-02-28T08:42:57+0000")
    and die "parse" . $date->err() . "\n";

print $date->printf("%Y-%m-%d\n");

exit 0;

```

Test run:

```none
$ perl dummy.pl
2019-02-28

```

**NOTE:** date and time parsing is a complex subject matter. So please

* choose an appropriate module instead of coding your own parser
* *do* study the documentation of the module you choose for the task
