Julia DateTime cannot be written in mat file

[pablosaa]

I got the following error by trying to store Julia's DateTime variables into a MAT file, is there any work around for the error described below?

julia> using MAT
julia> using Dates

julia> t = now()
julia> fmat = matopen("test.mat", "w")
MAT.MAT_HDF5.MatlabHDF5File(HDF5 data file: test.mat, true, true, 0, false)

julia> write(fmat, "T", t)
