--- Comment #40 from Dobrica Pavlinusic <dpavlin at rot13.org> ---
Is there reason why we use

output_pref( { dt => dt_from_string( $subs->{startdate} ),     dateonly => 1 }
);

instead of

output_pref( { str => subs->{startdate}, dateonly => 1 } );

Second one has nice side-effect that it supports empty dates (which return as
undef from database) in serial module. In our case, empty dates for planneddate
and publisheddate produce application error base hash

{ dt => dt_from_string( $line->{planneddate} ),   dateonly => 1 }

folds to

{ dt , dateonly => 1 }

which makes dt = 'dateonly' which in turn is not object and result in
application error.

Should I prepare separate bug for this change? Does it make sense?
