Get Template::Plugin::Date to accept MySQL dates as well as datetimes

I'm using the date plugin for Template::Toolkit (Template::Plugin::Date), it works well with datetimes (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss) pulled straight out of MySQL, but it will not work with dates (yyyy-mm-dd).

What's the simplest way to get date.format to accept dates (without modifying the sql query)?

Thanks.

+2  A:  
[% date.format(yourDateColumn _ ' 00:00:00', '%d %b $Y') %]
