It's actually not DateTime.perl that's involved, as I first thought. The stringification above comes
from Instant. Changed the ticket subject to reflect this.

@masak - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

From @Kodiologist

As of 529f54622a067e1de4d1, Instants stringify to something like
'Instant​:2010-09-16T22​:08​:23.719086Z'. If this is insufficiently awesome
for your purposes, please reopen the ticket.
