[ale] MySQL dates

What is the best way to store dates in a datebase?  I'm currently
storing them as the a string of output from the date command.  That
becomes a problem when I do an order by date and select based on date.
I would like to store them so I can order them correctly and also do
a select by date.  To generate reports. I'm using perl to generate all
reports.

Thanks,
Chris
