POSIX is in the core.

If I need Date::Parse I'll use Date::Format, but if I only need
POSIX::strftime I lose one external dependency.

I don't think I'll write programs that depend on the complex chain
of DateTime modules when I could just use a core module.

And that reminds me, another thing I like about Date::Manip is its
stand-alone flavour.
